Landing

I had a cancelation so I took a walk in a park by the river and practiced chasing butterflies with my camera. This was my favorite. Unfortunately my snapfish app is acting up and won't let me open and send most of my photos so I'll have to post my favorite shot of the shoot when I get home. Anyone know what kind of butterfly this is?

I love the subtle lighting and soft colors, and awesome composition, Jane! I think it is a type of Swallowtail butterfly... tiger swallowtail or asian swallowtail???

Oh, NICE! This is my next endeavor: butterflies! I have yet to see one, tho; at least, when I had my camera at the ready.... I'm going bike riding around the river today, tho, so maybe I'll capture something!

That's a Western Tiger Swallowtail.
