I'm joining Camera Critters today to share a visitor to Musashi's Garden.
The Giant Swallowtail Butterfly
A really big dude!
He stayed in the garden for quite awhile giving me a chance to grab the camera, run out the door,
and without scaring him away, take a few shots.
A real treat.
Wishing YOU well and a joy filled weekend!
Pretty butterfly, wonderful captures.
ReplyDeleteLooks as giant as graceful!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

ReplyDeleteThis butterfly was very patient for you -- staying still long enough for you to capture some wonderful images. Love them all!

ReplyDeleteEspecially like that second shot with th flower. Can never get a decent butterfly shot because of all the flitting! Maybe they're calmer in the heat?
