Buckeye Butterfly, visits the same Nepeta every year. See it for a couple days and then it is gone till next year.

Fishing in Alaska. My 15 lb. salmon: Our cook's 25lb. halibut: It's hard to beat fresh caught fish!

To: lgmd_gaz Beautiful shot of a butterfly. Most of those do not stay still long enough to get a good shot. If my memory serves me correctly, that's a Tiger Swallow Tail. Sadly, those a are scarce in my location, and have become less seen in my boyhood location. Back in my high school days, I had had one of those in my lepidoptera collection for science project.

Yes, thank you, that is good to hear, abgnhc. A big thank you to Casey, photographer extraordinaire, for starting it every morning.
