Butterfly

Butterfly....

The other day while my son and daughter helped me in the garden a HUGE butterfly flitted overhead.  I grabbed the camera and went around the house, figuring it headed for the butterfly bush (which I just learned from twitter should be dead-headed....) to snap its pic.  There were two of them; a dark one and yellow one.  I never could get the yellow one in focus without the setting sun glaring in it, but I did get a couple of shots of the dark one.  It's hard to see how big it was, but if you're familiar with the butterfly bush plumes, you have a decent idea.

I really wish I had gotten some pics of the crepe myrtle before it was past its peak...
