I love how the butterfly is part of the scene, yet still the focus of the photo. Nice work, Debra.

The swallowtail stands out beautifully here among the lush lilac blossoms. The tones and detail are gorgeous against the soft background greenery. Great shot Debra.

Thanks very much Heather. It would seem l that both of us have been enjoying the scent of the lilacs and beauty of the swallowtails.

Description
Extracting nectar from the lilac trees and chasing each other, the Swallowtail butterflies were plentiful and having a whole lot of fun.
