The wild overgrown garden was full of the whisper and scurry of small lives - rat snake, yellow bullfrogs, mongoose.

Half the joy in life is in little things taken on the run. Let us run if we must - but let us keep our hearts young and our eyes open so that nothing worth our while shall escape us. And everything is worth its while if we can only grasp it and its significance.

TR, just beautiful!
Hi TR,
It's been forever since I stopped by your blog. What a lovely set of photos. The spicebush swallowtail is actually a dark form female tiger swallowtail. If you look carefully, you can see the faint tiger striping on the wing pattern.
