Butterfly Ball
*Click the pictures, for the simple pleasure … then click (some) again.
The Caper Whites were the most numerous by far. It was their migration.
And so many other kinds showed up alongside them, like this Skipper, and others.
Jacaranda is raining across the country.
They came in their millions, these butterfly guys.
Dressed in white, red, blue and … on.
Dancing across the garden, supping as they went.
In waves, one week then two, they filled the air.
Some said it was an accident of the wind they came.
There was no food where they go. A terrible waste.
As with the Jacaranda flowering, right across the country.
I saw a dusting of the world by the magical, celebration earth.
It was east they danced and whirled, to the mystery.
Not west to the mapped mechanical.
There’s a world of difference.
Inside, that inner sense.
Of significance …

Beautiful photos. We had a lot of butterflies in Texas this fall, too.
Thanks Tammy. Migrations happen, we just don’t hear much about them, being unexciting to the mind.
WOW! Beautiful.
