Butterfly in the rain

I’ve captured a lot of butterflies for presentation here, but never a butterfly in the rain. It started raining today, and I walked out on our covered balcony to watch the Columbia River in the rain, and this gorgeous Western Tiger Swallowtail caught my eye. She was holding on for dear life as the rain came down. It was beautiful in a completely new way.
