I was at school yesterday (Aug 29) doing some work. After a while, I brought my camera out with me to go on a stroll behind the building. I didn't see anything worth photographing until I saw this Black Swallowtail (
Papilio polyxenes) visiting the clovers. Swallowtails are pretty difficult to photograph since they are very fast flyers and rarely stay still in one spot. I was chasing it around (from a non-disturbing distance) before I took this decent photos. The males are brighter and with a yellow band near the edge of his wings; thus, this is a female.
I spent most of my time today inside my new place in Peterborough because I was waiting for the apartment inspection of my old place. However, the meeting got pushed to tomorrow and I got lazy, so I did not really go anywhere today, except later in the evening where I took pictures of the nearly full moon. According to this
website (and NASA), tomorrow's full moon will be the latest "Blue Moon" until 2015.
So go out and look up at the sky tonight!
