Great shot of the Monarch Butterfly in flight. I think everybody likes butterflies. I believe your 2nd shot is of a Spicebush Swallowtail as I took some shots of one a few days ago.

Thanks Joe, and thanks for the ID - glad I didn't try it; I would have been wrong.

Lovely series!
When she was quite young my daughter called them "flutterbys" which I think is a better name for them than butterflys LOL

Thank you! And I knew a little kid who took Phenobarbital, and he would tell us he took PeanutButter balls.

The three of them are good, but the most spectacular is the first, I think. How did you manage to focus on the butterfly so sharply ?

Thank you! Actually, luck: I focused on the flower and hoped for the best.
