Description
An Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) butterfly works on a Scarlet Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) bloom on a roadside in the mostly abandoned Brazos River town of Port Sullivan, Texas. Both of these are quite common in the spring in Texas, but not quite so commonly captured together.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have won several awards, including an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4.
