Finally - A Pause for Lunch

I've seen several of these yellow swallowtails but almost always during their "fly over non-stop flight" pattern - finally he stopped on this azalea as I was going by and - gotcha! They are so beautiful.

I was so much caught up with those gorgeous flowers that I almost missed the butterfly. Amazing how a lovely butterfly like this could be missed especially when captured so well.
