Warm spring day

Enjoyed the oasis today, even though my vertigo was a little worse than it had been for the last couple of days. While photographing Pipevine Swallowtails on the blooming Mountain Laurel bush I discovered this skipper that I didn't recognize. Brian ID'd it as a Sheep Skipper. Not a lifer, but the first one I had seen at the oasis. Brian saw some here in 2010. So that was fun for me.


Here's one of the Pipevines. The laurel is almost through blooming but it's about the only diner around for the butterflies.


And I found a cute little vine growing in the courtyard. ID'd as a Texas Bindweed.
