Clearing out all the past-their-prime zinnias from the front garden bed yesterday and this giant swallowtail showed up and hung around the lantana long enough for me to go grab my camera.

“…But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be.
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.”
- Kermit (lyrics from It’s Not Easy Being Green)

There are now several ruby-throated hummingbirds hanging around our backyard, chasing and diving at each other in aerial combat. This one seemed to be the dominant one, it spent a lot of time perched on this branch of an avocado plant that is right below one of our feeders, guarding it vigilantly.
