ran my finger down the outer rim of this butterflys wing today –
autumn visit

Wordless Wednesday

Never saw one like this before.

We met on my morning walk. He was unmoved by my presence. I was about four feet away. Eventually, I walked away.

Flutter

the lazy flutter
of a butterfly tucked in
the heart of a flower

summer in all its glory..
nature, about it business

Exploring

exploring begins

for this springtime butterfly,

barely there blooms hide-

just a lone dandelion,

no mislaying this spring lure

Flower of the Day – Butterfly Bush

For Cee’s Flower of the Day, my Butterfly Bush has a visitor. This thing has nine lives. I keep snipping off the dead flower and new ones pop up. I guess this deadheading really works.This is the first time I’ve seen this color butterfly in my garden. I took a zillion pics to get to this one. So beautiful!! To see other entries go here.

Summer Solstice

on this, the longest day

she flits from flower to flower –

with the butterfly bush,

she takes her time

Renewal

The pear tree in the front yard is pretty close to the second floor porch. So we get to witness a bit of nature up close. The pace at which nubby buds change to to delicate blossoms is so interesting to watch. So we are blessed with having blooms, and pears within arms length.

An even more fun bonus of this proximity is being able to keep company with the visiting birds, bees and butterflies. So amidst this upheaval nature marches on, creating this space of respite.

in search of renewal
I bury my head
in the captivating blooms
of the pear tree –
a lone sparrow joins me
