Wow! Would've loved to have been there!
I have a mimosa tree that attracts a good number of swallowtails for a
fairly brief period of time. I missed a lot of opportunities to get
good shots because I simply wasn't paying attention for the better part
of late spring/early summer. I won't make that mistake again.
Great shot, Frank!

Colonel Sam Smith Park at the bottom of our street seems to be a
stopping off point for monarchs gathering for their migration down
south. There were thousands of them, and fortunately (since it was
cloudy) not many people. I was able to quietly walk right up to the
trees they were gathering on and get quite a few close ups. I must
have taken about 250 frames (bracketing, so really about 80 or 90
shots). It was spectacular (the monarchs, not my shots) and I'll need
hours just to go through them and choose the best few for a small
gallery. Until then, here's an early shot I took which I rather like.
Hope you do, too:
