Death in the Garden

2008.07.21
Tiger Swallowtail on Buddleia

American Robin juvenile, post mortem. Still so downy.



Dragonflower

Clematis

One of the sunnier parts of the garden. The Black-eyed Susans and Monarda are lush, and the pink Buddleia is ten feet tall!

This young robin was killed for sport by one of the neighborhood cats in my yard today. Now under the soil, it joins the earthworms it was seeking out only yesterday for nourishment. Otherwise, my garden has been full of life.
