. . . drum roll here . . .
#4, Journey is the winner! She will be getting an 8x12 print of Yellow Boat sent to her. I didn’t realize how popular that single print would be.
Raph also gets a print for being my 300th follower. A 10x10 of Seashell will be headed his way. Please e-mail me at katydid56@gmail.com with your mailing addresses.
To those of you who inquired as to how to obtain a print if you didn’t win the contest, they are for sale on my Etsy site. However, this Giveaway wasn’t a ploy for me to sell my work. I just like to give things away from time to time, because it’s fun! Those that visit here regularly know this for a fact.
Unfortunately, I had been remiss at keeping my Etsy site updated. While visiting there this evening, to upload these new ones, I saw that all but 5 of my offerings had been deleted because they had expired. Ah, well. Live and learn. I was thinking of letting it go, anyway . . .
. . . but they all just flew away on their own.
I’m not sure if this is a moth or a butterfly. I’m thinking butterfly because it was resting with both wings down before I shot this with my zoom lens at the birdbath this afternoon. I love that little curly-que under the chin, don’t you?
Do butterflies have chins?
Until tomorrow, my friends . . .
UPDATE: Thanks, Annie, for telling me that it's a tongue! I knew butterflies don't have chins. Annie also let me know that this is a black swallowtail.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm so excited. Have to scoot and find that perfect place for the picture!!
Black swallowtail butterfly and that curly-que is his tongue!
Beautiful, aren't they? That photo captures it well!
Superb shot of the butterfly!
...That Annie is a pretty smart feller isn't she? (my husband would've said "she's a pretty fart smeller") *eyeroll*sigh*giggle* ;o)
...Congrat's to 'Journey' & 'Raph' on winning!
...Thanks Kate for the giveaway!
...Blessings all... :o)
Love the butterfly - wish I could have entered the contest but was too busy twirling pasta and drinking wine with Mental Mamma!
Do you see the tears coursing down my cheeks? I have lost my yellow boat!
Congrats, Winners! That is a beautiful butterfly. And I had no idea that Etsy listings expired. Maybe we should look into things there too :)
(LOL, tj! too cute!)

Moth & monster are a point of view thing I guess....

Congrats to the winners!! That is a beautiful butterfly shot...
So you are Country Girl...When I wanted to start my blog this was kind of the name I thought I needed for it. But...it was taken. How wonderful to meet you.
Thanks for you sweet words on my blogs post about the lost of my beloved Godmother.
When I'm in a better state of mind I will look more deeply into your space. But from what I can see right now my first impression is just .... Breathtaken.

Wonderful picture. And, yes, love the tongue-curl! C
Looks like the yellow book is a big hit! I just went and looked at it again and I can see why. It is a great image. And then I asked myself "how many yellow boats have I seen?" and the answer was none. So....! Yes, that's pretty unique.
I agree with the others - the black swallowtail image is really nice. Amazing how incredible nature's paint brush can be, isn't it?!
wow!!!! It's nice to see a butterflies tongue protruded like that it is so beautiful....
thank you for sharing to us your photo.
have anice day

Congrats to the winners! I know...etsy is hard to keep up with ;0)
Show off ..
How cool is it to have our very own Encyclopedia Annie to supply names, AND sounds, for all sorts of critters? VERY
Congrats to the winners! I had a really busy weekend so I missed out on even entering.
I LOVE that butterfly pic! Wow!
Sad I didn't win but I did win as I have purchased the boat. I LOVE that so very much. Thank you...Carla
What a beautiful capture!
I think that you can click on "expired" or something like that to get your listings back to an active status...
That is such a good photo of the butterfly! I had one in my yard the other day on my glossy abelia bushes (Those bushes also attract hummingbirds as well. They have a thick sweet scent on a humid summer night.)
