An Orchid Swallowtail





This morning on my walk to the shops I had something flitting around my face as I walked past a tree. As one does, I instantly tried to protect my eyes & when I opened them again this is what I saw. He (or she) was huge, about 8" across & just beautiful. Not often I get to see them & never get pics. This one was taken with my phone. I believe he is an Orchid Swallowtail.

Lovely. I hope you enjoy your dream. We dreamt of a peceful life in our own little house, and we got it. It wasn't always easy though and we very nearly let it go. I'm glad we didn't. Enjoy your lovely new space.
