Swallowtail

Spent a very enjoyable day at Brown-Lowery park today, maybe a 45 minutes' drive south-west of Calgary. This time, we walked through wonderful, dense forest up to Eagle look-out. Here, there is a beautiful view over the valley, rolling foothills of the Rockies and the mountains in the far distance. I believe the temperature was around 30C again, so a hot climb, but we were rewarded with all sorts of interesting plants, insects, a fungus or two, and a few birds, including this gorgeous Swallowtail. There were lots of these butterflies flying around, but this was the only one that landed! Not only was I lucky with that, but this one is a different kind of Swallowtail from another Swallowtail I recently uploaded. Thanks, Doug, for driving David and myself there and back - much appreciated!
