Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - a photo on Flickriver

            I have always loved butterflies. As a child, I would chase them in hopes of catching one. 
After I began photography, I would chase them in hopes of photographing them. One summer, I planted some lantana and it grew to be quite large. One day, I saw this beauty come to my lanatana. I ran inside and grabbed my camera I had at the time and a folding chair and headed back out. He stayed for quite some time, sometimes leaving and coming back,  and I was able to take over a hunderd photos of him before he finally flitted away and didn't return.
