Two Queen Butterflies On Mule Fat Blossoms   2 comments

Two queen butterflies on Mule Fat Blossoms (Baccharis salicifolia) in the Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne

Two queen butterflies
cling to mule fat’s blooming wands,
orange wings flickering in the breeze.

In the Santa Catalinas,
sun pools between the pines and stones,
and the mountains hold them
like jewels in their crown of sky.
