Neighborly

photo 140
I was talking with my neighbor across the fence line today, when I saw this Tiger Swallowtail. I couldn't help myself. I had to excuse myself to take pics. I've really only taken pics around family and I felt self-conscious at first. The swallowtail stayed on this thistle for about a dozen shots. My neighbor waited patiently, until I was finished. :0)

Thank you for your kind comments on yesterday's rainbow and cows pic!!! I told my neighbor his cows were in yesterday's pic of the day.

For my 365 friends who like insects, I have a pic of a Wheel Bug nymph for my other album.

I had this happen a month or so ago....was talking to my neighbor and was so distracted by the birds,ants, b flies, etc... Finally an inch worm was creeping down her neck... I took a photo or three and she finally freaked out and screamed to get it off of her neck! Haha

Very nice capture. Looks like a bird took a small piece out of this one already.

It's touch when you have to desert someone mid-sentence! I hung up quickly while talking to my daughter today because a red-eyed cicada flew onto the deck where we were sitting! Nice shot, Carolyn!

Love your butterflies. You should get the neighbour involved, there could be lots of photo ops in their yard 8-}
