This butterfly was hanging around our bushes this morning. Soon the hummingbirds will be here and they love these bushes too. Not sure what type of bush they are, but they have these little red flowers throughout most of the summer. Some other birds like to come and tear the flowers off and eat them..

Nice of him to wait around for you to get some pix. Usually by the time I get the camera out, they fly away. Nate

I forget the name. Some kind of monarch. I guess he kinda wandered off and across state lines. Send him back, I haven't seen any here yet. LOL

That butterfly was very photogenic. Swallowtails are such a showy butterfly.

I really like the side view one. Butterflies are hard to shoot for me because they tend to move before i can get close enough to get a good shot. Very well done and thanks for sharing. Sampson
