I chased a Tiger Swallowtail around the butterfly bush. Now you know how I get my daily exercise.

Weekly Photo Challenge–An Unusual Point of View
A New Day Dawns
Arise, shine; For your light has come!
Pingback: Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual POV (Ways to focus on 100 meters) | What's (in) the picture?
Hi Pattis Well that was an interesting challenge. I think if I had been doing this I might have phtographed something that people may not know what it was (that way up)even though they would know it if it had been photographed in the normal way! I am sure this sounds Irish!!!

You should join in the fun, Margaret. We had plans to go to the botanical garden, but had to change them. Since I didn’t get to take photos, I sorted through what I had on hand and settled on these.

I’ve tried getting photos of the butterflies this year: it is hard work. Your pics are great!

I’ve not seen very many this year, Dianna. In the last couple weeks more have shown up. They are not very cooperative! Thanks! 🙂

Wow. I agree with Dianna. Every time I try to get a pic of a butterfly, it flies off. I think I need to take lessons. 🙂

Hi, Drusilla. So nice to see you! This was the only one I could get, it seemed to be taking its time. The rest flitted away when I got near.

Good capture.
On Saturday a hummingbird flitted to a lily…before I could change lenses, point and focus…it was gone. I kept the lens on the rest of the afternoon as that miss was just a reminder to be ready… PS it didn’t come back.

I like the photos – especially the underside – that’s a different POV, all right!

Lucky you, sometimes it is impossible to take a photo, the butterflies are moving so fast. But I was happy recently with the common yellow swallowtail
