|
 |
|
| Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) on Turk's Cap Lily (Lilium superbum). With a bee photo-bomb! |

| Virgin's Bower (Clematis virginiana) |
|
| Coming down the mountain as I was leaving Coweeta, I had to hit the brakes as I encountered this kinked guy stretched across the road. |
|
 |
|
| Black Rat Snake (Pantherophis spiloides) |
|
 |
|
| The kinking is a defensive "camouflage" position these snakes adopt to make themselves look like a tree branch-limb on the ground. I think it might be more effective in the woods than on this gravel road! |
|
 |
|
| I tried to catch the Three Birds Orchids in bloom, but missed them by a day or two. They open fully for only one day, all together as a group. |
|
 |
