Safari

It was like an African safari at my house over the weekend... tigers and zebras!

Georgia's state butterfly.... the tiger swallowtail.



 Zebra swallowtail...


 Also had buckeye and Gulf fritillary butterflies out enjoying the nice February weather.

Of interest... is what flowers they are nectaring at. I have creeping phlox, daffodils, and hellebore in full bloom.... and redbuds, sassafras trees in bloom... and the butterflies are visiting the henbit and chickweed!
 Had these cute birds acting like love was in the air...

The goldfish were acting like they were sunning themselves... like a cat or a butterfly... never really thought about fish enjoying the weather...

For a nice day... started out a bit chilly... a bit of frost on  the rutabaga...

View of the house.... from behind the cut down smilax.

Wisteria and jessamine... Doesn't it seem a bit early for wisteria to be blooming?

Finally caught one!
These things are simply destroying the vegetable garden, and set the trap... catch cats... bait the trap with cat food, you know...

Gorgeous pictures. What did you do with the raccoon? ...I actually wrote "zebra", first, then realized my subconscious was writing down part of your text. When I was trying to catch Dan D. Lion, I put out one of those traps and caught an opossum.
