Eternal Springs; where we may enjoy nature bounty everyday. (0_o). Currently I have a total of 7 first instars Black Swallowtails, one 2nd instar, on Parsley and Bronze fennel. I plucked those branches with the caterpillars on them and brought them inside. It's unusual that I don't see any lizard in the garden this year. But, I do have plenty of spiders and wasps that may take my butterfly's offspring for a protein-meal as well. *sigh.

I tried to capture some photos of the cats. but they're too small to be photogenic -- lol. So here is another -- a bee dancing on the Lotus flower. Enjoy.
