What a great display of colors and patterns. Suprisingly they are not compeating each other for attention as I might have thought they would. Ecellent details and lighting!!! Those colors are out of this world.

Thanks very much all! I was glad to see this guy land on the phlox. (good eye Alandra, I wasn't sure how it was spelled or I would have had it in the description :-) It was right next to the deck behind my house. I saw a beautiful midnight swallowtail while cutting grass yesterday but didn't get a shot. They are here. Thanks again. Don

I love the colours of the flowers, I love the frame and I especially love the butterfly. Well done.

that's a beauty for sure, Don! Always remind me of stained glass work. I guess that's creeping Phlox flowers that it's resting on? Will hafta plant some to try to attract them. We've seen a few white butterflies around here too, but no coloured ones. The past couple years there have been very few butterflies, not sure why.
