I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.
I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

I caught this Eastern Swallowtail on the same butterfly bush yesterday. The blue on the hind wing marks it as a female. I think the colors of this butterfly are stunning. The purple of the flowers adds the perfect touch to the photo.
I love this. I'm not sure what the blue is in background, but it sure works and the depth of field is perfect. I didn't know that about the blue on the female. I also have pictures of these but I believe the tail is black. So, I guess that's male right? KP
