The little yellow butterflies, brown eyed Susans and sunflowers are coming out in force. The two tiny butterflies in the last photo lined up for takeoff on a leaf — I told them they weren’t cleared for takeoff until I finished photographing them.
The “Land of Enchantment” — like the sirens whose sweet voices called to the sailors to be dashed against the rocks — called for us to sit out the rains, which produced too much water for my Mazda to get through.
After an extremely adventurous outing this afternoon, a tow truck dropped us and my car off at the Mazda dealer at 10:30 pm. We left the car in the service parking lot, dropped the keys in the after hours key-drop, Tristan picked us up, and we got home at 11:30 pm.
This jumping spider has plenty of eyes to cry for it’s lost love. Rosencrantz looks nice in stripes, and now that our butterfly bushes are blooming they are attracting all kinds of insects, like the scarab in the last photo.
