"Oh man, it's been a lonnnngg summer."
FWIW: Despite his tattered wings, this swallowtail flew rather well, albeit a bit more slowly than others of his species. He spent a good long time sipping nectar from the coneflowers and stay nearly an hour in my garden before flying off. I wish him well.
Personally, I hope summer sticks around well into September.
Thank you for viewing. Your comments are welcomed.
Best wishes,
