Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

My lilac trees are finally blooming. I had a long visit with this beauty. She allowed me to photograph her for about 15 minutes. That just never happens. I was grateful.

How lovely. It isn't often that they seem to sit still for so long. The colour against the lilacs is just beautiful.
