Canadian Tiger Swallowtail by gardencat

Canadian Tiger Swallowtail

Chased this butterfly all over the yard to try to get a shot of it. It finally landed on this bush in my neighbor's yard. Fortunately, I had my long telephoto lens on, at the time, so I was able to shoot over the fence and later crop to get this shot. Also lucky that my neighbor had such a pretty bush for it to land on. Probably better on black.
Lovely image!

Good catch - I think butterflies are way annoying to a photographer! The bush looks like weigelia - very pretty as you say.

So a Swallowtail Stalker- (just kidding) this is so worth it. It does truly pop on black.

@joysabin @boatpainter I definitely had to stalk this one. I'm just glad my neighbor didn't come out as I was standing on my tip toes, pointing my camera over her fence!
