We love butterflies
Deciding among flowers
This one or that one.

Thistle gone to seed
Lost is the shade of purple
Gone with the summer.
Red-bordered satyr
On the colorless thistle
Looks without color.

Because of the dryer than normal conditions, the wildflowers have a short-life this spring — catch’em while you can!

With The Two-tailed Swallowtail, You Count The Moments 12 comments
Two-tailed Swallowtail — Images by kenne
I chase butterflies
through the mountain meadow,
not with a net, but with a camera —
capturing the moment,
which becomes forever.

“Just living is not enough,” said the butterfly, “one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.”
~Hans Christian Andersen

Pipevine Swallowtail loves New Mexico thistles — Images by kenne
So far the wildflower season on Mt. Lemmon hasn’t attracted a lot of butterflies. This past Wednesday I was able to capture images of this beautiful Pipevine Swallowtail.

Capturing The Moment — Lavender, Blue And Yellow 5 comments
New Mexico Thistle — Image by kenne
Lavender, Blue, and Yellow
Standing tall above
the golden poppies
and blue lupines
grows a warlike flower,
several inflorescences
branching from the summit,
near the dusty paths
of the Sutherland Trail.
Bees move independently
through the fields
of blue and yellow,
only the diligent
tunneling into
the cushion of lavender
before the arrival
of the painted ladies.
