More sun and wind

Only the squirrel is out this morning.

Around noon a black swallowtail showed up despite the wind. It was interested in the rue, as usual, but also the vetch. Is the vetch good for nectar or as a place to lay eggs?

A little later, I caught a glimpse of a yellow swallowtail. And mid-afternoon, there were a couple of black dragonflies patrolling over the paving stones where the woodpile used to rest. I took a dozen photos but was never fast enough to catch one, and they never stopped.
