all creatures great and small

birds and bees,flowers and trees, dogs and cats and things like that...

As I was running around trying to capture the monarch in the previous shot I spotted this Swallowtail. Choosing to divide and conquer, I tracked down the monarch first, then went after the Swallowtail. He was a lot tougher, as it mostly stayed on flowers waaaaaay up out of reach. But I'm nothing if not persistent.
