July 2026 - Bee and the Butterfly
About the Image(s)
Bee and the Butterfly: I took this photograph on June 15th, 2026 at the Chattahoochee river walk. The blooms of Pickerelweed, a native to the wetlands attracts many pollinators such as the swallowtail butterfly and the bees. I cropped the photo vertically, sharpened the bee and burned the background for this final version.

Lovely colors, focus and action. It almost looks like the two are interacting, but probably they are both interested in gathering nectar and not in each other. Tell me if I'm wrong. Posted: 07/04/2026 23:20:25
Beautiful Swallowtail! I really enjoy photographing Butterflies for their colorful beauty! You have certainly captured this specimens vibrant colors as well as the Pickerel Weeds' color! AND managed to catch a bee in focus as well! Congratulations! You choose your settings wisely and rewarded with a sharp clear photo! Nice job, Sarita!

I enjoy photos like these that appear to tell a story of two species co-existing. The colors are very complementary, your subjects are sharp and the background adds beautiful depth. Thanks for sharing. Well done! Posted: 07/10/2026 19:53:56
