Photographed in my yard on July 14, 2020. I was fortunate to have a Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly land in front of me. I didn’t have a camera but took the photo with an iPhone. I was so close to the butterfly I didn’t have to zoom in or crop the photo. We also found some new Pipevine Swallowtail eggs and caterpillars on our California Pipevine. This is always a treat as Pipevine Swallowtails are only seen in our neighborhood occasionally.
This is part of my continuing project, the “Stay at Home Photo Project”. It includes many street photos from Berkeley and Albany as well as photos from the UC Berkeley campus, my yard and neighbors’ yards You can see larger higher quality versions of many of the photos at Flickr in my collection Stay at Home Photo Project which includes the following albums
