I saw a Black Swallowtail in the yard. First time ever. I hurried outside with my camera but alas, it was gone. Of course, there are always other things to take pictures of in my secret garden. Like my largest male duck, Kippur. He's always got a couple of ladies with him and he is very impatient. If I don't throw out the food quick enough, he tends to bite my thigh. This is his "Where the hell is the food?" look:

He's got the cutest spotted feet:

And even though I didn't get a shot of the Black Swallowtail, nature did reward me with a consolation prize:
Three-spotted Skipper
Life is good. :)
