As mentioned in the bee shot, lots of thistle bushes around. Couldn't believe all of the swallowtails that were flitting around and going to them. Only problem, the swallowtails, just wouldn't sit still. They constantly had their wings flapping, and wouldn't stop for a second, even when it seemed that they were capturing the nectar.
Beautiful - love seeing them. Got mine this time using the sports setting on my camera - first time I tried that - he just wouldn't stay put! Need some of those bushes around here.
