pipevine swallowtail

These butterflies are common in the mountains of North Carolina.  I stumbled up on several on the bank of a small stream.  This one stood it's ground as I approached and allowed me to capture several shots from 3-4 inches away.  Then it slowly lifted off and circled me.  As I researched what type this butterfly was I came across images of it's caterpillar stage.  Wildly enough, just a few days earlier I have snapped off a few frames of a strange caterpillar, it turns out they are one in the same.

last season

80mm f3.2 1/80s ISO100
Down and out in the weeds, these snow skis are retired.  Left-overs from seasons past.  Used and abused, raced and wrecked, now just stored and bored, they long for one last season.
