Azaleas and Butterflies


I went to New Hope Creek to take a picture of my favorite sycamore tree and instead was enchanted by pinxterbloom azaleas. Tiger swallowtail butterflies danced on the pink petals along the creek. I had walked these streamside paths dozens of times, yet everything was transformed.

The contrast between the colors of the butterfly and the pink blooms is stunning. It is nice to see the butterfly clearly...very nice photos. And welcome to Blotanical!

Yes, I was amazed at the beauty of the light coming through the azalea blooms and lighting up the butterfly. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
