Azaleas have been planted all around the swamp, many of them bloom off and on through the summer, despite the heat. This reddish colored one was a perfect complement to a Swallowtail Butterfly.
The flowers must have been providing some nourishment as the Butterfly kept going around the bush.
He went deep into each blossom, his head disappearing behind the petals.
Then he gracefully backed out before moving on.
Perfect summer captures😊
Thank you, Belinda!
These are simply stunning Ellen!
Thanks, Pete. We haven’t seen very many butterflies yet this summer, I’m hoping that it is not a trend.
