Helping the Butterfly Bush live up to its name a Black Swallowtail was enjoying the blooms.

I may have mentioned this before, but I have not seen many butterflies of any kind so far this summer.

This one was a real beauty and a light breeze did not deter him from feeding.

Beauty, absolutely!
Thanks, Hans!
So elegant and delicate, a gorgeous creature and a sight to behold!
They are, Liz, and amazing flyers that seem to defy that delicate look.
