A not so perfect Swallowtail
This gorgeous butterfly had a chunk broken out of it's one wing....maybe from a confrontation with another Butterfly? Sorry to see very little Monarchs this year...hopefully in July....
Susan, thank you for the kind comments! You are doing some lovely work of your own!! I use a Nikon Coolpix S210. That is a little pocket camera, almost point and shoot. I would love to have one with a manual focus, but in the meantime, I delete a lot of shots, and I usually crop a lot as well.
Great work, Susan. Love those loons. I get to see these magnificent birds for about a week in mid May when they set on a glacial lake south of town here. Then they are gone. Have never seen them in the fall and know not where they pass through?

Besides having a Love Affair with my camera...I feel just as comfortable with my paint brushes...doing most of my work in Acrylics, and experimenting with Watercolours. If I could paint every shot I took I would need a huge gallery....but reality says you only have so much space!!
My passion for photography and painting has brought me to this amazing area of Muskoka,It has truly been a Gift!to reside here full time...The beauty of the seasons, and the variety of wildlife never ceases to amaze me.
Enjoy my blog..

Susan, this is a gorgeous butterfly with a rich black background captured perfectly! Bravo!
A beautiful picture of a Swallowtail, the best I have seen Susan.
Great work, Susan.
