Great pictures, aren't butterflies beautiful? I had a butterfly in the house the other day and tried to get a picture of it, but it wouldn't stay still long enough. Poor thing was probably just desperate to get away.

When I saw your title and that first picture, I had to smile.
My mom always loved butterflies, and seeing them always brings her to mind.

Thank you! Your photos are gorgeous.

Love your photos of the butterfly. I've been trying to get a good shot but the little buggers won't stay still long enough! Have a great day!

You are a superb photographer! Those pictures are winners I love swallowtails even though they start out kinda creepy before they get their wings.

(Yes, It's me without my Mrs. Potato Head mask. MPH belongs to Hasbro and I decided I needed an icon that wasn't owned. The crow in my back yard may object, but what can he do?)
