The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I have a series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.

I’m not completely sure which swallowtail this beauty is. Please feel free to correct me if this is not a Black Swallowtail. π I will be grateful for the feedback. My best guess is Black Swallowtail, but the black form of Tiger Swallowtails frequently throw me off my game! π
During this shoot, I actually captured two butterflies in the same frame… More than once!! I was so excited when they were downloaded. Do you see the second butterfly in the photo above?
I love that in this shot one butterfly has landed and the other is approaching.
‘Not quite in focus, but anyone who attempts nature photography will appreciate my excitement that the frame holds TWO butterflies IN FLIGHT! Be still, my beating heart! π
I hope you get to enjoy the peaceful sound of wings that gently flutter by and then pause.
It’s been a while since I posted music. We had the chance to see Dan and Shay in concert when they were in Little Rock with The Band Perry and Blake Shelton. This song makes me smile. From the Ground Up.
What’s happening in your back yard?
