wild Monardella in bloom,
scent and sun collide.

I dreamed I was a butterfly,
flitting around in the sky;
then I awoke.
Now I wonder:
Am I a man
who dreamt of being a butterfly,
or am I a butterfly
dreaming that I am a man?

Empress Leilia Butterfly On A Horsemint Blossom, Mt. Lemmon, Arizona (I had trouble identifying this plant, but Ann Green came to my rescue!)

Currently there are few wildflowers on Mt. Lemmon, so it’s slim picking for this Empress Leilia butterfly. At least the wings are not a battered as the Empress Leilia image captures a week earlier.
