What you capture with your camera is well beyond photography.

You have the soul of a fine artist and I relish looking at your photographs.

You are just amazing.

Yes, I am now sacrificing my passionflower to the caterpillars but love watching the butterflies flutter around.

It has been a great year for butterflies. Of course,I didn't have any nectar or host plants last year. I have had some black swallowtails lay eggs on my fennel, but I don't have enough, and a couple plants died. Something is eating the caterpillars, I guess geckos.

my poor passionflower isn't thriving either. I probably have to move it to a sunnier spot
