What a glorious day! While working in the yard I saw several butterflies, including a Gray Hairstreak and this Zebra Swallowtail. The swallowtail landed less than 4 feet from where I was working to drink moisture where I had watered earlier. After a couple of minutes it was still there so I went a got my camera, but assumed it would leave when I returned. Surprise! It sat around and let me take a number of shots, then unhurriedly flitted away.
