I am so behind on processing photos it isn't even funny. But I had the chance to focus my lens on what has been an ignored subject for me for the past two years. I need to rectify that. The species are the butterflies.

First, here are some pipevine swallowtails.

This one is from two summers ago. It is sitting on a butterfly bush.

The next ones are from October.

In this one the body is obscured but I like the unobstructed view of the vibrant color on the wings.

Again, back to two summers ago. This is a tiger swallowtail I think.

Back to last month

This skipper, I do not know which type, was checking out the bushes and flowers in the front yard.

I laid down on the ground to get this image.

Last summer I found these two monarchs, well, making more monarchs.
