Western Swallowtail

In 1979 the legislature designated the Oregon Swallowtail (Papilio oregonius) as Oregon’s official insect. I thought this was one, but after examining several other photos, I believe it is a Western Tiger Swallowtail. Still pretty cool.

It seems to be saying "I'm outta here!" Isn't it amazing that it can move that huge body with those tiny wings?! Daphne has the most heavenly fragrance.

Wildflowers

This flower was only 6" off the ground. I never saw this bee until after I downloaded the photo. Not sure if it was curious or about to strike.

Someone/thing had been very industrious while I slept. I love how this caught the early morning sunlight.
