Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Swallowtail......
Looking down on the flower garden I could see this light colored butterfly fluttering back and forth on the zinnias. I grabbed the camera and went down the stairs to get out there thinking I would never get a shot.
The swallowtail seemed to be so excited about there being so many flowers to eat from that he didn't notice me being around. I just randomly shot pictures, as I could tell this insect was flipping back and forth so fast. I just snapped without looking through the viewfinder.
Life gets so busy that I forgot that the zinnias would be a draw for the butterflies. I did remember that I liked taking photos of the flowers but it did jog my memory when I saw this one having such a great time.
I am still spraying individual Japanese beetles that seem to keep hanging around.

Teddy's legs are a little short for this big wheel but he still likes sitting on it. These shots were buried in my files and this one...

Iowa wild rose is the state flower. I keep finding evidence of our hard freeze on different plants as they mature. The freeze messed up...

Gorgeous pictures!
Thank you for the reminder about the Zinnias being a good flower to draw the butterflies in. I will be planting some next year.
