The one and only monastery butterfly

We went back to the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC to photograph butterflies, but this was the only one we found. Maybe next month there’ll be more of them.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

That Tiger swallowtail is a real beauty, beautifully photographed. By the time I see them around my house they are a bit beat up.

A beautiful swallowtail nectaring on some pretty flowers. If you only got to see one this was a great one to photograph.
