Description

Since we moved in here three years ago, I've been trying to create a garden for nature - one that would attractive, birds, butterflies and other wildlife. I took this photo of a Pipevine Swallowtail on one of the stands of tropical milkweed I have in the back garden. I had been sitting on the patio when I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye and had to run indoors to get the camera. Luckily, he was so intent on getting nectar, he was still there when I came back outside.
