From a few hundred butterfly photos, I offer a few of my favorites today.
It’s all about the butterflies.
When summer became a drag
and I was snarky
I waited for hummingbirds
and butterflies to entertain me.

I’m missing the Zebra Swallowtail.
It’s the one that got away from me a few dozen times.
A Tiger Swallowtail
rested on my shoulder
twice.

Now that’s a good reason to lose

A small puff of air brushed my cheek when he took flight
and I heard a gentle wing flap or two.
Or, maybe I only imagined I heard a flap.

I’m sorry to unload so many photos
at once. Sorry for myself, actually.
This is a job and frankly, I've had quite enough of butterflies!

This is a job and frankly, I've had quite enough of butterflies!
It’s October already
and my lazy self has been a procrastinator
all summer long.
It would be a sin to keep these photographs
all to myself.
Butterfly wing art,
so intricate and stunning!
Wings look perfectly painted with a tiny brush.
Look closely at the detail of
dots, stripes, and colors so brilliant.
All you need is a little Lantana,
a Butterfly Bush or two,
and a few Zinnias.
A hummingbird feeder
would be delightful.
