    What a beauty. You did sooo well managing to get such clear shots of him Sherry. I hope you'll have lots of other butterflies visiting your garden 'cause then I get to share them with you. :D

    Thank you....sometimes they are so fast and fly through the garden and you don't even get to focus.
