Eastern Swallowtail Butterfly in my Backyard

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

It was very late at night. It was then when I noticed this cool looking butterfly. This butterfly usually wanders about really quickly. As such, it was rare to see it standing still.

I took this chance to feed the mosquitoes and take a nice photo. I used the flash to take the photo. I had to inch closer, and closer in order to take a clear photo. My flash has a range issue.

You can sort of see the darkness behind it. This is also the time when the snakes go out and play. So, I was like on pins and needles. All in all, it was worth it to take this nice photograph.

I have been feeling a lot better as of lately. It is for this reason that I felt like going back to work and stuff. For me, work is the website. The artsy sister needs to produce art. Otherwise, she will just be the sitting sister.

Aside from the butterfly, I saw the cat today. It was hanging out in the Pumpkin patch. The rains did a number on it. All the pumpkins died for the most part. The squashes are still hanging in there.

I started some new sapling. I am trying to get new Bell Peppers. I also saw the mean cat who hangs out in my backyard. I was able to feed him a bit of ham. I have only managed to feed him twice in the last two years.

He guards the backyard and sometimes he sleeps under the car. He is feral, so he is hard to approach. I hope you find this little short gardening blog amusing. This is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, Bye and God bless. I live in South Florida.
