Beautiful Monarch Butterfly DSC_9750

            Coming and going as they please, I am extremely grateful so many butterflies enjoy my yard.  I have not raised any for several weeks now.  Still, they are here in great numbers.  

As I was photographing this lovely lady monarch, a female tiger swallowtail stopped by for a visit.  I do believe she is the same tiger I photographed a few days ago.  I will have to compare images but it looked like she had the same little bit of damage to her wings but not much more.

As for a butterfly count, there were so many I didn't even bother trying to count them.  I saw one tiger, one viceroy, two spicebush swallowtails a couple of giant swallowtails, and a whole bunch of monarchs, pipevines, goldrims, sulfurs, and zebra longwings.  Needless to say, it was a beautiful butterfly day.

Have a magical Monday and happy snapping.
