Lazy Summer Daze

When my neighbors asks me to water their yard, I know I MUST bring my camera as there are always interesting creatures to photo.  The Praying Mantis has been on the Ginger Flower since it bloomed a couple of weeks ago.  I love when it looks right at me when I take it's picture.

The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly is doing it's best to get whatever nectar it can get during these last days of summer.
