More BUTTERFLIES

Found another butterfly looking at the plants in garden by a senior center.
Its some type of Hairstreak, about an inch across. I take the bus to get there. Only $1.25 and get 1 free transfer. (Would probably cost
$2 to go just 1 way by car.)

Hairstreak butterfly

I think this is a plant native to California.

STARTING

SITTING 

OUT Front this morning after picking up the Friday paper, on a wall. Watched the lavender stalks , noticed bees then large

flying on the scented geranium behind was a huge Swallowtail butterfly.  Felt good just to sit and watch and feel the sun and breeze. Then went in to get the camera and take pictures of house as HOA sent a letter about trim on property needing painting.
