Kann sein, dass ich es bereits erwähnte, dass ich Apollos mag? Nu ja, falls nicht: Ich mag Apollos. Und schönes Licht auch. Und Farben. Manchmal lässt sich das sogar kombinieren. Hier: Sonnenaufgangsfelswandbeleuchtungslicht mit Sonnenaufgangshimmelblau.

Common Buckeye #butterflies on Gregg’s Mistflower in the front garden. Since it appears that the seasons-change in SE Texas has been cancelled, with daily temps more summer-like than anything approximating autumn, I went ahead and bought some end-of-season-on-sale native perennial butterfly attractor plants and got them in the ground. Success so far, these are the first buckeyes I’ve seen in our garden.

Clearing out all the past-their-prime zinnias from the front garden bed yesterday and this giant swallowtail showed up and hung around the lantana long enough for me to go grab my camera.
