Description

All this season, I've been seeing people posting pictures of very beautiful butterflies. And because I have photography as a backup to my renders as well as a source of background materials for my renders. One of my missions to myself is to get a picture or two of a butterfly or two. Today my wish was granted and I got a whole series of photos of this very beautiful butterfly, a Western Tiger Swallowtail. Here is one of the better pictures, framed for your enjoyment. On another note, I've been tagged by Capergirl42 in Phase two of the Tag Game, created by mikeerson. Below is the link to her 'tag' http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1923445 I invite you to view and comment as you desire and after you have done that, go check out the original image before the tag at this link: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1885084 There are two new members to the Game: Vice and j5keep6! welcome and be prepared! If things go well tomorrow, I will be tagging someone from the list: benbischop faemike55 iceshark39 atlas7 Steff_7 HAVECANCER CaperGirl42 Vice j5keep6 with the exception of CaperGirl42 and of course myself. Thank you all for the wonderful comments and faves and I wish you all a great Thursday! Mike

If small and so imposing my friend these small animals. Beautiful catch of sight. In the insects have to learn much from their force. Imagine to try to fly away us?? After two blow of arm have like would be uncoupled lol…((5++)) Si petit et si grandiose mon ami ces petites bêtes . Belle prise de vue . Chez les insectes ont a beaucoup à apprendre de leur force .Imagine essayer de s'envoler nous?? Àprès deux coup de bras ont serait comme déboîtée lol...((54++))

I'm shocked Mike... from what I know of you, you love the outdoors (who doesn't - LOL)... I'm suprised you just saw your first butterfly this season.... I spend at least 3 hours out in the sun a day, I've seen a couple, but none as pretty as this. great shot - PS......... ADD ANOTHER NAME...... seaview123 has entered the TAG game.
