Wonderful composition and colour. I can never get our Butterflies here to stay still for long enough to even get close to a shot like this.

Two can play at that game. I really think I need to add my shot to your thread since it looks like we found the same butterfly on the same flower!

Very nice Bambi, and yours also Iggy.
Did not see many Monarchs this year, but an amazing amount of Swallowtails.

It's amazing how similar your two shots are. I like the sharpness of the butterfly in both of yours.

so Iggy- you've been stalking in my garden but never came to visit??? What's up with that?? :shrug::cool:

the butterflies and bees love the echinacea flowers. This one stayed around for a long time. I couldn't get a good one with the wings outspread though.

I like the color palette in this one, seems well balanced
