This beautiful Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly has been flitting around our yard for days. It always flies so high up in the trees and never lands on anything. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

And then, just as I walked out the door to feed the Bluebirds, he flew to the top of my little Dogwood tree where he stayed for quite a while.

You can see how different they are when their wings are folded. Have you seen any Tiger Swallowtails yet this spring? Beautiful butterfly… love those blue spots!
