Description
I love butterflies, in fact I am nuts about them, and purple is my passion. So I have the best of both worlds with this very difficult to capture photo in the Arizona Sonoran Desert. This Sonoran Desert Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly, would not stay still. It was too busy enjoying these gorgeous, purplelicious flowers of the Texas Laurel.
Also a large bumble bee kept chasing it off as well, and included me in "the get out of here or I will sting you." But I persevered, and was able to capture it. So I have great respect and admiration for those on FAA that have such beautiful butterfly shots.
Even though a favorite in Arizona, they are not native to Arizona, but rather native to Texas, New Mexico, and Northern Mexico
đź’•Thank you to the BUYER from Tucson, Arizona for the SALE of a face mask. I hope it is a help during these disconcerting times.

Simply lovely! L/F
Janet Marie replied:
Aww, Denise, aren't they though, lovely indeed. I am mad about butterflies, and purple is my passion color. I tell you, these swallowtails are very difficult to photograph. They were constantly fluttering about, as they do each February when these bloom. I am glad that you liked it enough to choose it as one of your favorites too.

Thank you Sandra for your love words expressed. Getting two favorites in with this piece. Purple is my passion color and I am nutty for butterflies. Oh the joys of life, despite the world that tries to take away our peace. I appreciate you choosing this as a fave too!
