Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) - All of a sudden -- woosh -- it flew in - Pam J says it is the one that flew over her Pines the other day - Maybe she is headed back there - ** 4 PiP on left side ** © All Rights Reserved

It certainly pays to keep records -- The Eastern Swallowtail butterfly has been in counties all around us -- Knew our time was getting near -- So, last year on July 5, 2016 -- The first one appeared ( but an hour later ) -- Today -- One ETS -- Eastern Tiger Swallowtail -- In the yard -- Along with Carpenter bees and Skippers -- And the elusive Hummingbird ! What a great start for the day -- ** 4 notes ** © All Rights Reserved

Skippers and Zinnias are made for each other .. Zinnia opens her petals to capture rays of the sun .. And the Skipper checks out the nectar / pollen supply .. This is in The Dogwood Patch .. Home of Zinnias, False Sunflowers and Cosmos .. Waiting to greet Butterflies ! ! ! © All Rights Reserved

Day to Skip outside .. Yes, thrilled with 1st photo of a butterfly this year ! And, a bee .. Not a Carpenter ( have see flying about ) .. But this guy .. Enjoying Chive blossoms .. While the Skipper went from one bloom on the Creeping Phlox to another ... © All Rights Reserved

in NotMyGarden - Down The Road - one of many Skippers - on the Cosmos - since it is still 'not warm' here - this photo is for me - and anyone else who needs color in their day - Namaste, Peggy © All Rights Reserved
