Tiger Lily from the garden

I love these pink tiger lilies. They’re just un-named mutts, but they get incredibly tall and add so much color.

Butterfly on the Susquehanna

I went on a photo hike along the Susquehanna the other day and saw this little fellow. Some sort of Swallowtail, but I’m not sure which. His stripes look very aqua in person.

However, art studios are another story. I noticed a hole in the yard by the house foundation this morning and hunted around the cellar, but there was no sign of anything tunneling in. I guess that’s because he decided to go up instead.

I was sitting in the kitchen when I heard a kind of stressed sounding, "Mrow, Mrow." My cat is not a Siamese, so it is rare for her to make any sound except for this really, really, really loud purr at 3 am when she decides she wants a snack. "Gosh, Mom, did that wake you up? I don’t know why. I was just SITTING RIGHT ON YOUR HEAD while I purred."

Anyway, I stepped into the art studio and saw this:

That is really not something I prefer to see in my art studio, especially when I fell asleep in there on the couch last night!! I caught him in a waste basket and took him out to the garden. Hopefully he is not back in the art studio already…
