Description
These large, beautiful butterflies have been relatively common last year and now this year, although they are late this year. Our garden wouldn't be complete without these visitors to the flowers and butterfly bush!

I used two textures from Anna Lenabem - I dedicate this image to her with many thanks to Anna for sharing her exquisite work!

Magnificent butterfly! Surely a royal! A fitting, beautifully opulent setting! F/L
Carol Senske replied:
They are fairly large and beautiful. This is a female - males have all black where the blue shows in this picture. Thanks for the nice comment:>)

So lovely. We're off to a Butterfly Garden for a photo shoot today. My son is visiting and it should be so much fun. And maybe I'll "capture" some beauty!
Carol Senske replied:
YAY! Have a fabulous time and can't wait to see the results of your "shoot"! Enjoy your son, too, of course:>)
