Photographing a lovely swallowtail butterfly perching on a yellow-flowered cosmos at Kote Gongendo

This photo was taken at Satte Gongendo, where a swallowtail butterfly perching on a yellow-flowered cosmos looks adorable. When the season changes from summer to autumn, the Kibana-Cosmos flowers along the pathway in Satte Gongendo are in full bloom. The sight of swallowtail butterflies gracefully fluttering through the bright orange and yellow flowers is a heartwarming sight to behold. For photography enthusiasts, this is a precious season to encounter subjects full of color and life.
