Looked All Over and He was in the Backyard

Been looking for a picture today without much success until I looked out the kitchen door and there was activity on the butterfly bush. Don't you love that snout!

Oooh, wow, great close up! Loving the pov so that we're looking up at it and the backlight illuminating the butterfy's wings is beautiful.
I often wonder if it was seeing a butterfly's wings lit like this that inspired the first artist who devised stained glass in leaded panels as a medium of expression.
