Final Shot

by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments on Final Shot

I walked with my camera today — not something I do all that frequently these days. I shot a bit, and then, having walked nearly five miles, packed up the camera and started my walk home. But then I heard this guy say, “Um. Hello? What about me?” and the sweet thing then opened its wings for me.

Show off.

A Butterfly

I see so few butterflies these days. When I was a child it seemed they were everywhere. If and when we ever manage to get plants into our own yard (yes, it’s pathetic to think that our yard is a mess with very few flowers!) I hope to plant some plants that bees and butterflies love. This swallowtail appeared on my walk today and while I couldn’t get terribly close, I was happy to get an image at all, as he/she really didn’t want to pose!
