This guy was hanging out on the window outside our break room at work, and I couldn’t help but make a few portraits of him with my phone.
One or more of my expert readers will set me straight, but I think this is a Pipevine or Blue Swallowtail. I don’t see too many butterflies, but this guy was pretty interesting. I did a little Snapseed magic to clean up the background and juice the colors a bit.
I’m currently wading through my photos from our recent visit to Colorado. Stay tuned!

Amazing what can be done with phones these days. A dynamic background and, being that close, some nice Bokeh too .

The Galaxy S6 has an impressive camera. There’s a little filtration going on there, but mostly I was really close to the little guy (considering I was shooting through glass!).

As they say, Bootiful!
Tom Dills
Absurutery! 😉

A very nice butterfly, Tom, but let’s not dawdle with those Colorado images! For me, that’s practically “home”!
Just kidding……..
Tom Dills
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You’re not kidding at all, are you? 😉
