Beauty on the wing

So the deer chomp gladiolus, the bunnies eat the lamium, Rooter snarfles up apples and veggies and the squirrels raid the birdfeeders and scatter seed. Every now and then, I get a chance to see something that stops me dead in my tracks, makes ever nerve in my body sing with delight, and reminds me that THIS is why I garden.






This little beauty was hanging on in the wind, which is why the last two pictures are fuzzier than I like.

That just absolutely made my night!
