During the quiet peace on the dirt road, I spent time with this lovely butterfly. Here are just a few of the shots I took as it flew and landed numerous times - all within my view. A link to more information is posted below in case you would like to learn more.

Below is the link to learn all about the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. I was very amazed to find so much about this and also happy that we have Joe Pye Weed and Milk Thistle all around here that feeds this beautiful insect.https://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Papilio-glaucus
Absolutely beautiful Ms. G!! Each and every photo. Those swallowtails sure do like the thistle, don't they? [I see them and other species of the same family favoring the thistle blossoms]
