Lepidoptera
These Summer days are now hot. To cool off a bit I find a place in the shade, relax and enjoy the critters that visit my yard. A few days ago I decided to capture one of the many butterflies that flitted among the flowers nearby. I used no special settings for the camera. I generally just point and shoot. This Two-tailed Swallowtail may be disguished from the Western Tiger Swallowtail by its extra pair of shorter tails.

Butterflies always make me feel like a
Child……amazed and on awe!
