Attracting Butterflies

My Butterfly Bush was doing it's job today; there were two Swallowtail Butterflies working the flowers. I like this photo because I can see the Proboscis entering the flower. Can you see the beautiful blue skies? The weather forecast is for blue skies all week here in Portland; I wonder what it will be like at the beach if I go over there.

More pruning done is our yard today. I am taking all the dead branches off one of my trees; there are a lot of branches to cut in smaller pieces in order to put them in my Yard Debris bin. The garbage truck comes tomorrow so I will be able to refill it then.
