swallowtail

I chased these butterflies around and around last summer and never had one hold still long enough for a photograph. Imagine my surprise this morning when I found this one quietly sunning itself. Not the most exciting composition, but I love the beauty of these butterflies. Hmmm...looks pretty good on black if you are so inclined.
