Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly ( f ) -- Enjoying nectar from Cosmos of orange and yellow -- Beautiful blue sky for such a visit -- She is a bit dinged, but oh, to me, still a beauty -- This time I didn't need to visit my neighbor for photos -- Many, many photos taken -- Honest -- That isn't including the ones trashed ! Am still in awe of her beauty -- Largest photo on left -- She was almost touching the lens -- Hope you enjoy her visit as much as did I -- © All Rights Reserved suggest typing z and make large
