[Leica] IMG: Swallowtail Portrait

[Jim Nichols]

Upward facing flowers provide better poses for butterflies, but also 
require a lot of work.  The Buddleia just requires trimming once a year, 
but the flutterbys hang at awkward angles and get hidden in the 
foliage.  Today's pose was more to my liking.
