Sunshine, freedom, and flowers

Swallowtail on my lilac bush - f5.6, 1/640s, ISO200
"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

    Beautiful macro! I love the coloration and markings on Swallowtails - unfortunately, I've found our cat does also! :(

    Having that Swallowtail around to photograph - you are so lucky. Such a nice balance with the lilac florets.

    Great photo - those Swallowtails are so very difficult to photograph when flitting from flower to flower.
