The Rising Sun

 

Black Swallowtail

 

 When I am mowing next to zinnias I have to abruptly stop to go get my phone camera. I have seen very few butterflies so far this season. This one really loved the zinnia and stayed long after I started up my mower to finish my mowing.

Morning Update.....

 

Reflecltion

 The feeder is is the shade so the red of the ruby throated only reflects the light a little. I can't hange it out in the open so I can't get the full red band on its neck.

The textures and colors show off when the sun hits their feathers. It is amazing to see it flying around and all the colors of red and green show.
