Adrian Bennett recently photographed this beautiful Anise Swallowtail Butterfly feeding in her garden at The Sea Ranch.
Here is a close up of this butterfly taken by Drew Fagan.
And several years ago Laura Baker photographed the caterpillar of an Anise.
It's always lovely to see a butterfly, don't you agree?
Thanks to Adrian, Drew and Laura for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
We are having a spectacular day on the Mendonoma coast. Nothing but blue skies and a gently breeze. Tonight might bring a green flash at sunset as the horizon is clear.
