Swallowtail Butterfly enjoying the sun and nectar from the Bluebells!
Cool mornings and beautiful weather here.
Amazingly, other parts of the US are having snow and lots of it. Maybe as much as a foot of snow!

Remembering my mom. August is her birthday month. Before she died, she told me she'd try to be in contact, maybe through butterfly kisses. Somehow I always manage to photograph butterflies around her birthday. In NC, there are many butterflies this time of year. The pipevine swallow tails are easier to capture, as they don't seem to mind close ups with the cameras. See photo in first comment below. But the Tiger Swallowtails are much more camera shy. They seem to fly off everytime I come near. Just as I was leaving, I was finally able to capture this old tattered one, which I think is all the more beautiful because it is so tattered and resilient.
I capture butterflies better with my close up macro lens on my point and shoot. Wishing I had a lens where I could zoom and capture butterflies, but that is not an easy matter with my Canon powershot.
This particular butterfly just allowed me to get closer- a gift of the moment.
No need to comment, just returned from my NC vacation. Getting settled at work, and new computer-- but much time yet to get it all configured and get time to comment-- sorry- a bit side-lined but I am back to having internet access.

Yep......one thing to guarantee you'll see butterflies in your yard, is to plant a butterfly bush!
I had only been seeing the occasional butterfly flitting through my yard in a hurry to some place else, but now that the butterfly bush is in bloom they are starting to hang out!
Hope to catch up with everybody real soon. On my way back to Wildwood tomorrow.....two days ahead of schedule.
We have a group of 20 somethings renting this week, and I feel it's prudent to get back down there to "oversee" the activities!
Catch up with you all soon! Have a good one!
Only one or two in our yard, I was fortunate to take this shot. Not too many butterflies in Pasadena any more.
Slowly but surely, I'm seeing more butterflies: 5 different species at the lakeside park the other day. (I'm never sure if these are the Eastern or Canadian varieties.)
In between doing some heavy manual labour (reparing a long steep gravel driveway) I relaxed and took some shots of butterflys. These two beautiful Tiger Swallow Tails were sipping water from the top of the heavily saturated driveway. There were quite a few varieties of butterflys around I managed to get a couple of shots of those too.

Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio glaucas) in flight. These Butterflys come through our yard every day. I have been trying to catch one in flight for several weeks now but even though they fly relatively slow, getting one in the viewfinder and in focus is a challenge. This morning I had a bit of luck. This is a full in-flight shot as it traversed my yard.
Thank you, in advance, to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.
This beautiful butterfly is called a swallowtail because it has a long tail on each hindwing that resembles the long, pointed tail of the swallow (bird). Favorite flower colors for butterflies are purple, yellow, pink and white.
The Fullerton Arboretum is a 26 acre botanical garden with a collection of plants from around the world, located on the northeast corner of the California State University, Fullerton campus in Fullerton, California, in the United States.
It is the largest botanical garden in Orange County, with a collection of over 4,000 plants. The Arboretum saves species that are extinct or near extinction and serves as a learning place for agricultural history.
The Arboretum officially was created in 1976, and officially opened in 1979.
The arboretum, which was originally a diseased orange grove, was transformed into organic gardening plots.
A centerpiece of the Arboretum is the Heritage House, which was built in 1894 as the home and office of Fullerton's pioneer physician, Dr. George C. Clark.
In 1972 the house was moved to what is now the middle of the Arboretum.
The restored house now serves as a museum of family life and medical practice of the 1890s.

And the owl the porcupine
If churches were built in the sea
And the three times one was nine
Then the world would be Upside-Down, yes
The world would be Upside-Down
What a topsyturvey world this would be
The world would be Upside-Down, yeah
The world would be Upside-Down
One of six images from visits on August 3, 2021 to Art Omi Sculpture Park & Mud Creek Environmental Learning Center, both in Ghent, New York, USA. The water garden at Mud Creek was full of Monarda & Jerusalem Artichokes. I was tickled to see Hummingbird Clearwing Moths & a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly enjoying them!
My little brother found this Tiger SwallowTail Butterfly (I assume) on his way home from school and brought it home. He thinks it was hit by a car that's why its wings are badly hurt and has some parts missing:( I don't know how much we can do for it, but I decided to leave it on my sunflowers maybe it can regain some strength to keep going. I also read that butterflies can actually fly even with a few chunks missing from their wings so hopefully this butterfly can do the same.
This is my lucky butterfly. He just posed and posed and posed somemore for me on this day.

...or is that a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly in March?
I walked into the Churchville Nature Center Wildlife & Butterfly Garden just in time to see this guy hovering around a Spice Viburnum that was in bloom......glad I had my long lens on, as it was all the way across the garden, and drifted off before I could get closer.
