This year I've been working on my butterfly garden. I have a planned area and a wildflower garden, both of which feature flowers that are supposed to attract butterflies (and maybe hummingbirds). So far I haven't had a lot of traffic (that I've seen, at least) but the occasional Monarch makes an appearance...giving me just enough hope that I keep looking.
A week or two ago I saw a Hummingbird Moth (odd duck of a thing) but didn't run to get my camera. Today, however, I was quick enough to get several pictures of a Giant Swallowtail butterfly. Unlike the Monarchs, it wasn't terribly shy and even got fairly close to me while I snapped away.
By the way, I'm not a great photographer and my subject isn't a patient critter so please excuse any blurriness. Maybe after Sean gets me that new 10x optical zoom camera my photos will improve. (hint, hint)
