Flight of the Giant Swallowtail by cjwhite

Flight of the Giant Swallowtail

My new butterfly I saw yesterday isn't an Anise. It's a Giant Swallowtail. They look similar. but the Giant has cool eyespots on its tails.

This post makes my total pics posted 1270. That's a little surreal to me. I realize how many I've posted sometimes, when I try to give pics a name. I couldn't come up with anything creative today. :0)

Thank you for visiting my project! The 365 isn't just a project for me anymore. It's a part of my life. Luckily, my family is very supportive in my picture taking endeavors. :0)

Please view large, if you have a minute. :0)

What? I can only Fav once? Doesn't seem fair, does it?

This is flat-out amazing. Not only is the focus outstanding but you managed to get great composition too. It's like some kind of once in a lifetime shot. But then, I suppose many shots are once in a lifetime. Right time, right place. Luckily you have the talent to capture it for us all to see.

It's so beautiful, I can't stop staring at it.
