Pipevine Swallowtail

I must have taken 50 shots of this butterfly as it visited my lantana today. Talk about an exercise in frustration! It was a bit breezy, and the butterfly was very busy. Between it moving and the hanging basket spinning, this was the clearest shot I could get.

I'll try again in the morning, before the wind starts up.

DancingDolphin I love it when someone else admits to taking 50+ shots to get ONE good one! :-) Hey, it only TAKES one! Nicely done.
