May 8: It’s rare for the Swallowtail butterflies at my house to linger long enough for a photograph. They’re frenetic and always flit here and there. I finally just gave up trying.
This morning I opened the sliding glass door in my dining room and sat quietly in the threshold with my tea to watch the activity on a tree we fondly refer to as the shrimp tree. 
I was hoping for a hummingbird but instead was delighted with this Swallowtail who needed a rest in its travels.
I’m grateful to have caught this moment on film.
