Description
If you visit Middleton Place Plantation in the spring, you are in for a wonderful treat when the azaleas are in bloom. Thousands of azalea bushes of many colors line the walks and gardens. An added treat was this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio rutulus), drinking in the sweet nectar of this beautiful Piedmont azalea (Rhododendron canescens). I added digital painting textures to achieve the desired fine art finish.
Middleton Place is a plantation in Dorchester County, directly across the Ashley River from North Charleston and about 15 miles northwest of Charleston, South Carolina, in the USA.
The Tiger Swallowtail is a beautiful, large butterfly, usually in the range of 3.5"-5.5", easily identified by its black "tiger stripes". Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtails are always yellow, while females may be yellow or black. Females have a splash of iridescent blue wash on their tales, while males do not.

I would love to know how your process your photos to create this kind of beauty. I've found my passion with photography "after" I retired. I've always loved taking photos, but due to life's circumstances I never had the time or money to pursue it. Oh how I wish I had. I just turned 70 and feel I will do this to the day I die. What a joy it gives me, and what a joy I get looking at your photos and creations. Thank for such beauty. Faith Burns
