SWALLOWTAIL

Taken on the first day of our Sicily holiday – 22 August, 2018.

By the time we had settled at the agri-tourism complex the rain had stopped and Max together with JP were off to the large pool of the complex. The water was icy cold according to JP and I didn’t even take off my top and just sat on the sunbed – without a sun above. After a while I went looking round for intresting pictures to take.

I saw this Swallowtail butterfly flitting from one place to another and followed it until I got a good shot of it.

Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's.
