We saw several Black Swallowtails on the butterfly walk yesterday. This is an organized event and I sure enjoyed it. This Black Swallowtail was enjoying a Nectar feast.

I did not expect to get this photo. We were hiking on a 'butterfly walk' with a naturalist from the Miami County Parks District these two showed up. It's a Black Swallowtail and a Monarch butterfly. The monarch is slightly out of focus but this is one of my favorite photos of this season.

This is a female Black Swallowtail. Sometimes nature does not show up in places that allow for a 'perfect' photo. I think that is what makes nature photography great ... the photos of nature are not perfect. Sometimeme you find wildlife where this is less than great lighting, a blades of grass or trees in the way. You see, wildlife does not show up in places where you can get that 'perfect' photo. All that said, viewing nature is so very perfect.
