I spotted this Giant Swallowtail on the Vitex from indoors and went rushing outside with my camera... only to find the lens fogged up immediately!
Eventually, after cleaning the lens off several times, I was able to get some photos. This was the best one and I decided it would be my entry for Macro Flower Saturday, hosted by maiaT at Macro Flower Pictures

What an inspiring image.
What a coincidence that Maia is also featuring a butterfly! Great shot! I just hope you made another close-up shot so we can see the details in both!
You took my breath away with this photo.
Everything is so perfect here, this gorgeous butterfly, the perfect light and setup, the whole composition looks more like an exquisite painting than a photo.
Thanks for this lovely contribution to Macro Flowers Saturday and have a beautiful weekend!
Oh spectacular butterfly. Great shot.
The butterfly is such a romantic, beautiful addition to that lovely flower!
A gorgeous composition filled with striking detail. Very beautiful
Haha, the lens has fogged up many times for me this summer too :D
Beautiful photo!
This is so pretty. I love the angle you got of the butterfly. Nice job. Patty
Gorgeous picture with that swallowtail butterfly! The amount of light also look perfect! It doesn't look foggy to me at all.

Must be the week of the Butterfly!!! Loving all of them and the flowers too!
I think this is an amazing photo - the light is just perfect and its such a beautiful butterfly.
A feeling of throbbing pulse of the life. . .
Thank you for showing the splendid brightness.

Thanks for the great comments everyone. I think Mother Nature has more to do with the lighting than me. I was just dancing around trying to get the butterfly in focus. It was a lucky shot - serendipity, I suppose you could call it :-)
Gorgeous butterfly!
