butterflies..



...don't you love them? There is something so unrushed about them. It's like my brother says: they enjoy life instead of constantly fighting to survive. It's kind of a metaphor for us humans, isn't it?Anyway, enjoy the photos. Apparently I've found a new butterfly magnet this year: zinnias. Also mums.

Has anyone else noticed that the black swallowtails always seem to get the worst luck? I mean, it's rare that I ever see one that's undamaged. I don't know if they're more noticeable or what! But I felt sorry for him/her. One of his tail lobes is missing (on the right) and there was a chunk missing on his right wing. Poor thing. He/she seemed to be coping well anyhow.
