Strolling around the garden with my camera. The fence on the west side of the garden is blooming with trumpet vines. I haven’t seen a lot of butterflies this spring and I am not sure why. Could it be the drought? or the large number of wasps patrolling the gardens looking for caterpillars? I’ve seen a few Monarchs and Swallowtails.

we don´t have that kind of butterflies so it is nice to see it.
I also like the last shot with the little waterdrop in the pipe.

Gorgeous photos! I love the swallowtail one, and I agree that the last photo is just beautiful.

Thank you Colleen. It’s the camera – not me.
