A powerful image for this entire summer. The only butterflies I've located this year were all tucked up and fast asleep inside a folded curtain in our garden office!
ahhh yes, i wish we were having those summer showers, we need the rain. but alas, the mountains near us get the showers and we just get the humidity :-)
Funny, I was seeing this same scene in my own yard yesterday. We have flowers planted to attract them. This is monarch season here. Thanks for reminding me.
mum of critters - wish we could have sent you some of our rain,
furrybutts - i hate when it rains at lunchtime! Stops me visiting the farm rabbits....
jack - interesting point!
art and poetry - thanks
Ascender - maybe in the curtains of Dick's office? I often wonder too though...
Nathan - I'd love to see the monarchs...
weaver of grass, polona - fewer butterflies here too, only whites in any number, far fewer darker, patterned butterflies... I've seen more interesting moths though...

ReplyDeletelove the image it stirs up
We've been having showers here lately. It was extra heavy today, I couldn't step out of the office to get lunch!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be nice to see butterflies though.. haven't seen any in a while :)
as i water plants
ReplyDeletebugs and butterflys
go flying out of the spray
if done to scale
and they were airplanes
i'd have blown them out of the sky
what do they do
that we don't know?
Nice one!
ReplyDeletewondering where they go in the rain... under a leaf?

ReplyDeleteAll the butterflies must be down your way - up here in North Yorkshire they are sadly absent this year. Love the image though.
ReplyDeletewonderful image... fewer butterflies here this year than the previous few... and the summer has been extremely wet.
ReplyDeleteDick - yes, the whole summer,,,

ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of moths but few butterflies except for the cabbage butterfly. Love this haiku Juliet - it is the epitome of a summer day.
ReplyDeleteBetween our rains
ReplyDeleteThe slugs slither
and eat all in their path!!!!!
I want to be there. In that garden.
ReplyDeleteThe moths and butterflies around here are amazing. I need to go back to the GA Botanical Gardens!
I can just imagine them taking advantage of the clear skies. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love this one. It takes me there. Nature's garden. Summer joy.
