while this computer was at Doc B's .. photos were taken here and next door .. it was as though I was missing something .. yes, the habit of going to my computer .. I don't tend to miss something .. until I can't have it .. . THEN - I can think of 100's of reason why I really do need it .. when my car was in the shop .. could think of all these places I really needed to go .. Mr C said, "drive my car.." I drove around the block .. gave him the keys back .. "what's wrong?" asked Mr C .. me - it is too low ( I have a CR-V ) that is up higher .. and the brake - you have to have your foot on the brake to start the car ! if you have a Mazda, you know what I mean .. that is weird .. at least to me, so I walked around the yard .. searching for photos .. Found these Swallowtails .. Dark one next door and the Yellow in our garden .. we've had an abundance of Skippers .. and the Zinnias are still bloomin' ! but, all is good .. got some needed things off the external hard drive .. helps very much .. and -- thank you PJ for the Adobe link :) © All Rights Reserved

From Jeff Pippen - www.jeffpippen.com/naturephotos/hemaris-diffinis.htm If it can't be found in Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America , this site by Jeff is the one I go to. He has North Carolina-found species of many, many things that are in gardens/fields/woods. This is why one has nice neighbors .. they plant butterfly-attracting goodies for things that fly and photogs who live next door. Thank you, Danny ! © All Rights Reserved ** 3 notes - 1 in each upper Left corner ** --EXPLORE--

A Lifer ! Zebra Swallowtail ( Eurytides marcellus ) www.jeffpippen.com/butterflies/zebraswallowtail.htm Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America .. page 24-25 Usually these are found over near the coast of North Carolina -- I am way inland .. Over at my neighbor's shrub, a new-to-me butterfly ..
