autumn's nectar feast

the sedum bed is alive with
butterflies of all different kinds
and thankfully...finally...the
honeybees.

each afternoon they all gather
on the clusters of star-like flowers
to share the nectar feast.

empress leilia

i found her in the neighbor's driveway
she was flying outside her range
some eight hundred miles away
i wonder how she ended up here?

colors found in nature

the brilliant tiffany gem stones illustrated in the color plate from 1921 (above left)
that i got from ebay go so perfectly with these paper lithographs of victorian-era butterflies.
