Swallowtail (2)

Phew. My camera gave me a nicer present than it did yesterday. And I managed a successful blip before I'd even had breakfast -- I spotted this on my way to the pool this morning. It's not quite as good as my flukily successful first butterfly blip, but what a beautiful creature!

I took a few more photos I liked today too, but I'm working on the principle of posting the non-repeatable one and saving the other subjects for later. Thank you for the kind comments on yesterday's not-so-great blip :)
