Flutter By Again

Another shot of that same beautiful, black butterfly.  Took my breath away.

Sorry, once again, for the lack of posts recently.  I work fourteen hour days, and I just haven't had time to deal with my blog lately.  I shall try to be better about it.

This was taken in my parents' backyard.  They have zinnias all over the place in the fall... all of the flower beds that have been full of other plants get simply taken over.  Orange, purple, pink and yellow dominate the yard, rather than the expected green.  And what comes along with them?  Butterflies.  Dozens of them!  Simple moth-like ones all the way to elegant blue and yellow ones.  Stand in that yard for five minutes, and I guarantee that you will see six or seven different types of butterflies. It's absolutely magical.

A Splash of Orange

I love flowers, if you hadn't been able to tell.  Half of the photographs on this blog are of flowers.  And, why not?  If we're talking about the lovely things in this world, it is hard to ignore them.  Manmade loveliness is wonderful, but if you want to discuss natural beauty, the flower is where it's at.  Colours like this happen without any person trying to create them.  How wonderful is that?
