Macro Delight

My wife and I took a long weekend away together in the mountains of Western North Carolina.....and at an elevation of approximately 3800 feet, the swallowtail butterflies were in abundance......

 

A macro shooter's dream situation.....great wildflowers coupled with almost perfect light.....

 

This is best viewed at the larger/original size....where you can see the detail on this magnificent butterly who is missing one of his two signature "tails".....
