So far this year autumn feels warmer than usual and I'm still seeing flowers, butterflies and moths. The first several images are from the garden and the last two are from natural desert areas.
Texan Crescent
Bee and Texas Sage
Mexican Yellow on Plumbago

Hubbard Silkmoth
Unidentified Moth on Turpentine Flower
Paperflower, Brittlebush
Desert Marigold, Turpentine bush
I am so surprised by all the butterflies that were out and about. Never seen so many. My sage bushes have been none stop blooming this year. Not that I am complaining.
I like seeing these warm images. Here in Breckenridge, it's snowed the past 2 days. We have about 10" on the ground so far. No butterflies or flowers for me! Keep your photos coming!
I saw a Dainty Sulphur recently but didn't know what it ws until someone ID'ed it for me. Don't you have flowers all summer long and even some butterflies? We do up here.
You've actually captured the warmth!

ReplyDeleteOur autumns seem to get warmer every year.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous…I particularly love the contrast of the Mexican Yellow on Plumbago … Thanks for capturing what I can only watch from a distance. :-)
