This is another image I snapped of a Giant Swallowtail butterfly as I was walking out to cut down a tree blocking my internet signal.

I tend to take my camera with me mostly everywhere I go, though usually if I am 'work' oriented, I often elect not to bring it to prevent me being distracted from my primary task.

As it was a good 200 yard walk to get out to the tree, I took my camera. You never know what you might see on the property as you're walking about it.

Enjoy!

This little rascal chittered and scolded me to no end while he swished his tail and followed me from tree to tree. Most unusual.

I can look at clouds all day. In fact, I've done it on more than one occasion. The subtle lines and motions, the imagery you can see -- totally worth

Trying out another camera for the first time, really. A Canon. This is an image of a large Mesquite tree near our pond, reflected at sunset.
