That was nice luck, old coins are very neat.
What did you take a photo of on your walk today? PART 2!
It really was luck because he usually throws the spare change in the tip jar by the register w/o looking at the coins. Must have caught his eye before he tossed them in.
This is a small, family-run restaurant so we always pay cash for the meals and tip in cash.
I believe this is a female eastern tiger swallowtail.
It hung out for quite some time on the purple cone flowers.
There’s loads there, that’s why I want to go back on my own so can see more, plus the fort & other stuff.
Found these in the garden today. Blue-tailed lizard eggs, at least 5, and the mama (papa?) next to them.
If you look above the eggs in the photo, I think it’s the black shiny tail with the white stripe down the center.
See the long black bit with the white stripes above the eggs?
Edit to add: I always regret not reading all the replies before I answer, lol.
