in Camera Critters, Farm Photo Friday, Friday Photo Tags: butterfly, swallowtail
Last night when I was out fixing fence, I happened across a swallowtail butterfly sitting on a thistle.
It didn’t stay long though.
I took my soaps to the farmer’s market again tonight, so I’m late getting my post up. I’ll try to be more organized next week.

It was really pretty with that evening sun shining through. It was a good night at the market.

Beautiful light!

Thanks. I love that evening golden light.

You get some of the most beautiful shots!

Thanks. It’s pure luck.

You’re like the Universe Whisperer……..you get creatures to do the most amazing things!
Love that *take off* shot……..

I just capture what they do naturally.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 06:24:47
I’m glad he stayed long enough for you to get that great picture!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 07:59:46
I am too.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 09:00:09
Beautiful captures!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 09:38:59
Thanks. They are so fun to try and capture.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 09:15:17
Love the top shot, they are beautiful butterflies.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 09:39:13
Thanks. Swallowtails are my favorites.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 09:33:45
Beautiful photo! Don’t you just love when that happens? Thanks for sharing!!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 09:39:27
It’s nice when everything works out for a pretty capture.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 11:07:06
How pretty!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 12:04:43
Thanks. I love the swallowtails.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 11:35:37
Wow – utterly gorgeous!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 12:04:58
I do think they look very nice on those thistles.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 11:46:18
So beautiful! I rarely manage to capture photos of butterflies as the ones in my garden don’t tend to stop still long enough!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 12:05:28
This one was awfully cooperative. It’s nice when you find one so happy in eating they don’t even notice you.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 12:36:54
the 2nd photo looks amazing, as the butterfly’s ‘legs’ go straight back…
Aug 25, 2012 @ 15:33:34
I was amazed that I caught it as well as I did. Certainly lots of room for improvement, but it was interesting.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 13:09:04
Looks like he was waiting just for you to come along! Beautiful!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 15:33:54
I think enjoying the flower was more on his mind than a photo shoot!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 13:17:57
You have to be quick on the shutter yo catch most butterflies…and you were!
Aug 25, 2012 @ 15:34:49
I think I have to give credit to the camera rather than the photographer.
Aug 25, 2012 @ 13:57:14
If there is such a thing as a perfect composition, I think you’ve managed to do it in BOTH images!!!

Thank you; however, you are too kind.

I’ve been enjoying beautiful butterflies on my lil farm too… I just love to watch them glide/float through the air, so peaceful
Aug 25, 2012 @ 21:20:50
I love them! We haven’t had many this year, so when I’ve been lucky enough to spot them, I really beg them to pose for me.

Captured so beautifully. Hopping by from Camera Critters.
My Critter post, come and see when you get a chance.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Thank you. It’s always nice to see a cooperative butterfly.
