I had given up hope of this happening, but this morning royalty flew in to visit my swan plants. Can you see my regal visitor?
This will do nicely, thank you.
You’re welcome, Ma’am. Please come again.

wow how did you capture that butterfly ..it is a very beautiful shot..been chasing butterflies all my life but i never got a satisfying shot 😦
Luck, I think. Keep trying.
That little gal took my breath away. I didn’t have a clue what you meant by royalty, then I scrolled down, and wow! She was brilliant. I just dropped by to say thanks for visiting my site. Come by again some time. I’ll follow your lovely site here, so I don’t lose track of you. 🙂
Hello. Good to meet you. She didn’t come back today so I don’t know if that is a good or bad sign. It is very hot so perhaps she is hiding in a cool spot like everyone else.
You did a marvelous job of capturing her. I don’t think I have ever been so fortunate, and it wasn’t for lack of trying. Well done! 🙂
Thank you.
And it’s a female! She may be looking for a place to lay some eggs.
I expect so but I am not entirely sure she liked what she found. She had a good look around and came back several times so….
How pretty! Can’t wait til wee see butterflies again here 🙂
We don’t get many butterflies so that is why I decided to plant swan plants this year; to encourage some butterfly activity.
You didn’t speak to her in butterfly words I guess. if you did why she didn’t offer you a ride on her tender back. excellent photo ! 🙂
She knew I would be too heavy 🙂
Love, love, love this!
Thank you. I was so excited to see my visitor this morning.
Lovely – but I’m so crazy I gave up putting in swan plants because the local paper wasps kept carrying off the caterpillars. Plus I went spare trying to find food for the overload. Luckily there are lots of other people with swan plants locally.
This is my first time to plant swan plants and everyone keeps telling me how hungry the caterpillars get 😦
Hope it goes well
If I am not mistaken, the butterfly is posing for you! Beautiful….
Certainly seemed to be saying “look at me”.
Is it possible there may be a little bit of vanity in butterflies?
I wonder. They know that if they get our attention we will grow food for them. There is something going on…….
It’s hard to capture these beauties! Yay for you!
Yay, indeed; I took about 10 photos to get this one. My first attempts at trying to photograph a butterfly.
