They look just like our western tiger swallowtails. Such gorgeous butterflies. Posted: 05/10/2023 22:13:00
I 'pixel-peeped' on this photo and it's impressively sharp nearly throughout.
Like that you can see the pollen on the tip of the butterfly. Posted: 05/11/2023 17:59:18

Stunning macro of the butterfly!!! Think next time Im going to try a higher F stop .....I tend to try to get that creamy background, but you have a fantastically clear crisp shot front to back of the flower. May give that a whirl next time! Very Nice image!!!!

Such a lovely photograph of this swallowtail. I really like your composition. The butterfly and all the flowers are sharp with the yellow standing out from the green background.
We are starting to see them in our yard with the butterfly bushes blooming. I will try the higher f stop the next time I photograph this beauty! Posted: 05/26/2023 14:00:01
