8/12 - The Get-A-Way

Home, Backyard

The wife has been planting things in the backyard for 4 years now to attract butterfly's and this year
it is finally paying off. I could not get much closer to this guy to get a good shot yesterday as he
was busy working from flower to flower before taking off for the neighbors yard.

Oh, and he is not out of focus. He was just flapping those wings fast enough that 1/800th of a second
would not completely stop them.

Hard to do! Well done Bob. Wonderful fruit from Rik's efforts. Tell her to make sure and add a Buddleia davidii or two. They are long lasting Butterfly magnets.

Beautiful tiger swallowtail and that lantana is like a cocktail to him. Great capture!
