Painted Lady


The weather here in the Bluegrass State has been nothing short of dreary, rainy and well, of course, cold. I mean it is Winter after all so I really cannot expect much more.


So I interrupt this dreary, rainy and cold Winter's day in Kentucky to lighten the mood a little with this beautiful image I captured back in the Summer. As I snapped this photo, a very patient Painted Lady Butterfly sat on top of a Purple Astor, at least I think it is a Purple Asotr, and waited for me to finish. I got to thinking about Spring today and decided perhaps a quote would do us all some good. So I leave you with the hope that Winter will be short, Spring will arrive early and well, you get the general idea.

Life sometimes finds us in limbo and right now, to my total amazement, that is where I am. One chapter is ending and another is beginning. And I am trying to muster up all of my courage to soldier on. Any support you can send my way is truly welcome. ENJOY!

Common Buckeye, Up Close

Giving due where due is deserved . . .

. . . the beautiful Common Buckeye Butterfly leisurely hanging out in the wildflower meadow at Bernheim.

Such beauty could only exist in nature. ENJOY!

Oh Butterfly!


A Buckeye and a Painted Lady.
All captured on the same day at Bernheim and I saved them for you til now.
I'm afraid when I return to Bernheim, they'll be gone. As I went out to the car this morning, I discovered the leaves are turning on the trees. Reds, yellows and oranges. I can't wait. ENJOY!
