PAINTED LADIES FLY

8/1/2019

It was such a magical site to see a kaleidoscope of Painted Lady butterflies flying past my house!  I couldn't resist and went outside to stand in the front yard. Then I raised my hands, as hundreds of butterflies brushed over my fingers.  I don't know how many thousands of them passed by that day.  It was an amazing experience.

They were not pausing on their journey but flying together with a purpose. I waited for a long time to get a photo or two. I finally got pictures of a couple of Painted Ladies that did pause for a moment before rejoining the migration.

My favorite color is purple, so a lot of the flowers I plant in my garden are shades of that color.  I think the prettiest combination is warm against cool. Maxfield Parrish colors I call them.  The painted ladies orange against blue plumbago  and purple straw flowers was a perfect example.
