Butterfly Day


If yesterday was "deer day," today is "butterfly day." I counted no less than 10 black swallowtail butterflies flitting around the zinnia garden all at one time this morning. Skipper butterflies accompanied the bigger swallowtails among the zinnia flowers. At the same time, tiger swallowtails enjoyed the butterfly bush flowers. All of them were so busy feeding on flower nectar that they didn't seem to notice or be bothered by me photographing them.
