Waterfalls and butterflies

I decided to saunter over to the dam this morning to update my border photo.

Walking back across the road, I saw the swallowtails were out. For some reason, every year at the end of the driveway, the Tiger swallowtails gather to sip minerals out of the damp earth. It is so magical to walk by and have a cloud of swallowtails take to the sky , fluttering. I took about a dozen pics trying to capture the effect-butterflies are difficult subjects!

Then I heard the fairies call. I decided to take a walk streamside.
