Swallowtail Feeding Frenzy

I love spending time on my garden swing watching the butterflies and bees gathering nectar from the Abelia hedge. I can't believe how busy they all have been as the days are cooler. They know that Fall is not far off.

Sometimes the entire hedge is just a 'beehive' of activity. That's when I grab my camera .... Because the butterflies wings are never still, I used a sports setting for taking these pictures.

  7. Latane, I love your photos! Great action shots. Isn't it something how fast the summer is going. I hate it to end, really. In spite of the heat. Its a beautiful thing to enjoy not only the garden produce, and flowers but not to be chilly either...unless its by choice...setting the AC a little too low! Have a great day....Maggie
