Backyard Beauty

It was exactly one year ago today that this beautiful butterfly, a Black Swallowtail, graced our backyard. I felt both honored to see it and thrilled to capture it.

“Backyard Beauty” is my Photo of the Week.

A real gem. And, I am assuming it is rare.

  Thanks, Marland. No, it is not rare, especially in the SE US.

    But still a beauty. Too often, when things commonplace, we forget the excitement the first time of the first time we saw something, or experienced something. Good Friday
