Took this picture of a swallowtail a couple hours ago. This one was slightly compromised by a damaged wing. Gdaughter and I have cared for dozens of swallowtail caterpillars and chrysalis'. Watched them turn into beautiful butterflies. Maybe I'll dig them up and post them. I put some in Karlas profile messages. They might be a couple pages back by now.

I came across this observation while watching an episode of House Hunters: I've not heard a single cicada in my neighborhood or locale. I'm disappointed because their presence was hyped in the papers, yet I've not heard the action!!!

DH saved a turtle yesterday - a Florida Soft Shelled Turtle. He was on the road in our community, just around a bend. We were afraid he'd get run over, so we got out and he picked the big guy up and brought him to the pond. Man, once he saw that water, his little legs just started a paddlin' and he all but jumped out of DH's arms! Hubster put him down and he sprinted right down into the water and paddled his little butt away. Hubby said he's never seen a turtle move that fast in his life! We looked it up online and it said that they really are fast critters.

Interesting pic bjh...doesn't look like ill effects are present. Oddities of nature are incredible. At the local aquarium here, there is an albino alligator.
