Giant Swallowtail Butterfly on Thistle

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly on Thistle
As we walked along the wooded trail, we happened upon a small clearing where rays of sunlight illuminated a patch of thistles, and butterflies indulged in the sweet nectar of each spiky flower head. 

Photographed at Santa Ana National Refuge, Alamo, Texas, May 2015

      Yes, I enjoy taking photos of beautiful things I see in nature. A still shot of a butterfly brings out details I often miss with just my eye.
