Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

These were taken years ago at my pond in our old yard. I did not realize that when we removed a 20×40 ft pool and put in a large pond it would turn into my outdoor Macro & Wildlife Studio. Got lots of interesting images there. Also got to try many different techniques to photograph small subjects across the pond.

Wonderful images, Reed–I have always loved Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. I particularly like the angle of view and lighting in the final photo, with the sky providing the perfect backdrop for the butterfly.

  Thanks Eliza! Since we are stuck at home it gives me time to go through my backup drives for images to post.
