Thank you - I am just now learning about all the butterflies in our area. When you learn photography, you learn so much more!

Thank you - I hope to meet her again soon. Went out to visit this morning but it began to pour rain and ruined my plans for the reunion. Perhaps tomorrow..

Weather still not very cooperative, but I did get a few pics this morning. No bugs out - no butterflies either - and hardly a bee! It was wet and yucky - I think all the little creatures were tucked in bed sleeping (where I shoulda been!)
Thanks for the kind words - I do love nature...

I love this one - the picture doesn't do it justice. Such a gorgeous butterfly in the full sun.

Beautiful! I won't grab a field guide this time...I'l just enjoy...I, by the way, did not see any problem with your avatar, so I wouldn't worry too much, but there is someone who has a similar screen name (I think without the hyphen) that I accidentally ran across when I mistyped in entering stuff once... maybe something like that is what happened to the other person.

Thanks - but a friend sent me screen shots and there is something wrong with the way my avatar shows on my account. I'll report it and let dA handle it - no big.
And the butterfly.. I have updated info and I'll be adjusting the description today. She's a beaut, eh?

Thanks - checked out all the links and this does indeed look like a Pipevine. I just uploaded another shot [link] - one with the top of the wings fully visible. The coloring on mine seems a bit different from all the ones I saw in the links you sent, but perhaps it is the lighting, or perhaps the age of the butterfly. So - do you think this is a male then?
Also - got your note and will send info.

HA! I'm such a dope! You are right - I am having a bit of trouble keeping up with my inbox. The note I was referring to was from a friend who said my avatar is different on my front page than on the rest of my pages and he wondered why... What do you see? Is my avatar the same on every page?
And sorry for the confusion - I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment...

Different friend - but I am confused as to why it should look this way. Will investigate this tomorrow - tired tonight.

definitely the pipevine swallowtail... female, based on the markings shown at the 4th link in previous note compared to your other view. Slight coloration difference is just lighting.
