My favorite butterfly is the Swallowtail. I love the soft yellow with the black stripes and the colorful drops at the end of his wings. There were quite a few Swallowtails at Bernheim yesterday. However, the heat wave meant not as many blooming flowers as I would have liked. There was a storm pass through on Saturday morning around 3 a.m., with unbelievable lightning and 60 m.p.h. winds. It managed to knock over one of my favorite flower pots. It's all busted up. But I'm safe and sound. Try to stay cool.
I loved the image of the sunflower so much I had to give it a dedicated spot on my blog for the time being. I think I love the yellow in the sunflower as much as I love the yellow in the Swallowtail. It's such a bright sunny color. How can you not love it. Enjoy!
