Both kids were here for a visit over the weekend; a rare treat for us. Thus, I did not get time for any photographic “expeditions”. There were, however, a number of interesting visitors to Joan’s garden and its immediate surroundings which I did manage to photograph.
The black swallowtail caterpillars (there are three or four of them) have been hanging around the garden for a week or more. They have more-or-less wiped out the dill (apparently well known as a favorite of theirs) and have moved on to the parsley.
The painted ladies were abundant on Saturday; sometimes I could see five or six from a single vantage point. They were actively nectaring on the flowers that encircle the garden.
The gray tree frog, which was sitting on the Swiss chard, is a rare visitor; neither Joan nor I had ever seen one before. Apparently they are not particularly rare; see: http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Wildlife/Nongame/frogs/frog_graytreefrog.htm.
Note the new method of displaying photographs in this post. Any opinions on this “style” compared to the usual one?

Painted Lady 1 and 2 were amazing. The unique angles and the macro effect really worked on both of these.
I think the new display method works well. Now, if you could only get easier math equations:)
