Life by the pond

My poor attempt to get this butterfly before flying away. Couldn’t focus fast enough. There will more opportunities.

Oh, its poor left wing! I'm always amazed they can still fly when they've suffered damage like that.

Wow! Gorgeous Spicebush swallowtail and look at all the butterfly eggs on that plant.

Not bad, though, Mark! Better than I could have done, I think, if I ever had the pleasure of even seeing a colorful butterfly amongst my flowers!
