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.”Â

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.
Â
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.
