Considering these two butterflies were dancing a jig, I'm amazed I even captured them semi-still.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Judy, this is just so beautiful. Breathtakingly so. What an excellent capture and presentation and framing and I love the little ladybug in the bottom right hand corner.

@tyan: Thanks, Ty, for your comment on the butterflies - I waited a long time hoping would stop dancing, but I guess they were having too much fun.
Our family is healing, slowly but surely. I hope your disease scare has lessened!

that is a difficult capture, well done. I've never been to Bok Tower. I'm sure there are lots of photo oppotunities there? Do you recommend?

@Simon Tew: Hi Simon, yes, the photo opportunities are great at the Bok Sanctuary, but then they are in North Port also. *smile*
Barbara from Florida, United States
That is exactly what it looks like, they are dancing. And I know these Swallowtails are never still, great DOF too. Beautiful capture.
