I Finally Captured a Butterfly…
I finally captured a butterfly on a Butterfly Bush! We have a dozen Butterfly Bushes scattered through out our backyard and they do attract butterflies, but I never seem to have my camera when the butterflies are visiting. When I was watering yesterday, I noticed a few butterflies, dropped the hose and ran for my camera. Fortunately, this glutonous little Swallowtail was still drinking the nectar when I returned:

That is beautiful. I have been trying to do the same thing. Not luck. Glad you captured it
Lovely, I have a butterfly bush, two in fact, but they don't seem to attract butterflys.
Patience is a virtue. With talent and a little luck these pictures of a butterfly were captured. Good job!

It's been a swallowtail summer this year. They don't loiter long enough for me to snap their photo. I really wish I could capture one of a hummer visiting my tiger lilies!
Pogonip- My Rose of Sharon is just starting to bloom, so I am planning on stalking the hummingbirds that it attracts. :)
LOVE these~ we've had more winged visitors this summer than I can remember seeing in years past! I run for my camera too :-)
You were lucky. I have some very pretty ones around, but they just be still long enough to get a picture. You did very well with yours.
oh wow, so beautiful. i love taking pictures of butterflies too.
Lovely captures! Glad you finally fulfilled your desire. There are two photos that allude me: the little geckos that run around our house and only show up in the evening when the light is bad for taking a photo, and the choir of toads somewhere out back that I hear after the rains but never see. :-)
Beautiful shot! Jean
Great shot....I have yet as to get a good picture of one! They are too fast for me!
Stunning! Both the butterfly and your shots!!
Su-sieee! Mac
This and That. Here and There. Now, Sometimes Then
