Black Swallowtail

I was so excited when this fellow showed up last week and spent an extensive amount of time fluttering from one plant to the next on my deck. Most of the time his wings were non-stop but when he landed on this Geranium he finally let them rest.

@joansmor Well, I do have two albums and it's rare I do two abstracts. It's a busy month and abstracts are easy to do and post so you'll just want to avoid the main album for a while.
