Yesterday was cool, cloudy and windy… not ideal weather for odes to be out and about. A stroll around the yard after lunch confirmed this. I saw no odes in flight.
I did, however, discover this female calico pennant hunkered down out of the brunt of the wind. She was perched on a pine twig not more that six feet from the back deck and about 4 inches off the ground.
A little pine sap stuck to my forearms (and the knees of my pants) was a small price to pay for the second photo.

The detail throughout the wings is amazing on the first one! Great background as well. The second one looks soft probably due to the background color? It wasn’t as bold as the first one.
