Lovely Sister
Yesterday afternoon I was enjoying photographing the hummingbirds in the backyard. Every once in awhile a butterfly would flit by catching my attention as it floated past. There were Duskywings, Mylitta Crescents and a few Western Swallowtails. My favorites were the California Sisters. Luckily I had a few land on the oak tree right in front of me. They are such a striking butterfly with beautifully patterned wings. Hopefully there will be many more to come this summer. What a great way to end springtime. God's love and blessings to all, chris

And they love the sweetness of life. The observation of nature is always an endless source of discovery and study of the divinity that runs through creation. This spring I noticed for the first time the rare wonderful perfume of the young flowering part of the sumac shrub, mid-yellow in spring, but turning the deep red in autumn. What a lovely scent and discovery. Thank you for sharing these pretty butterflies, Chris.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment, sonia. They are like little flying jewels so easily missed if we aren't looking for them. Little daily gifts from God.
DeleteThose are beautiful! We do not have this type visit us. In fact, not many are coming this year of any type. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that, Shelly. Hopefully you will get some good flights from the south later in the summer.
