A Change of Scene

Sunrise as seen from the same as it ever was scene.

Tristan’s funky chickens at the Solstice party. Chickens may be fowl, but they know how to party.

Drama in the southern sky.

Orange in the western sky.

Venus and the moon riding a black dragon.

Happy Solstice!

Spunk: “Bah, Solstice humbug! The stinking day lasts too stinking long on stinking Solstice!”

Venus and the sliver moon at dust again.

Night sky looking east.

Sol the orange and black striped beetle: “I love Solstice and having a long day to lounge in the daisies!”

Night sky looking west.

Night sky looking north.

Night Sky Looking south.

Philandering With Flowers

A Papilio rutulus was philandering with flowers when I got home this afternoon. Mr. P was so preoccupied that I was able to get close enough with my phone to get some detail. Commonly known as the Western Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio rutulus is a swallowtail butterfly belonging to the Papilionidae family.
