A FLUTTER-BY


The most amazing butterfly flitted into the Cantina Garden yesterday, and kept me mesmerized for ages, watching it from the balcony above, and trying to catch a decent photo of it. You can't tell it here, because the wings aren't fully spread, but that thing was gi-NOR-mous -- about the size of a salad plate! I had to rush right out to King Feed to buy one of their butterfly guides, so I could figure out which kind it was. I'm guessing it's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail...on steroids!
