Yesterday I didn't post my 30 Days Wild because I didn't return from the Cincinnati Museum and a visit with a second friend until late last night. The first half of my day began with a friend and I sharing time at the Bug Fest in Cincinnati, OH. We had a nice time even though it wasn't what I'd expected. Mostly dead bugs on display. I was hoping for live bugs to watch and handle, if possible. But, I did get two packets of wildflowers to plant which will attract butterflies. I also got to pet a hissing coach roach. Maybe I'll share the very brief video of me petting it in another posting.

Upon my return to town I went shopping with a friend from church. We had a great time. I bought some new shorts, a pair of earrings and a necklace that I would consider out of my comfort zone. It's rather big and has colorful beads.

My pic for yesterday's 30 Days Wild is an image of what I believe to be a baby robin. It was rather warm outside June 3rd as you can well imagine with this robin's open beak.  Isn't it adorable? A few seconds after this shot was taken the robin found a worm. 

Tiger Swallowtail

A rare spectacle took my eyes hostage as I looked outside my window.  There were four butterflies fluttering around during a brief thunderstorm. Usually I only see one or two butterflies in a summer, not four in a day. They continued to flutter above a mud puddle giving me time to grab my camera. When I stepped outside into the on again, off again rain this tiger swallowtail was the only one braving the elements. The others had flown away. If you look closely enough you'll see that the picture below reveals some raindrops atop the swallowtail's body. It seemed  to be enjoying a cool evening after all the heat we'd endured.


Rushing winds couldn't keep this swallowtail from taking flight over the barbed wire fence, across the open field and out of my sight. This tiny specimen seemed to float away into the distance, untethered.
