Tiger Swallowtails fed in this morning’s sun with their long straw-hose like proboscis sucking up nectar. Then summer showed its might with heat, humidity, huge thunderheads building during mid day culminating in slamming lightening, rolling thunder and a 2” downpour replete with hail – strange that it is cold enough up above us for ice to form, while at the ground level it is a frying pan. All the trees received their wild wind pruning.
The paint job on the swallowtail reminded me of graffiti in the Doan Brook Gorge [1]
