Wondrous

Gulf Fritillary on Penta, August 2021

 

Morning light magic
shining through your stained glass wings
makes me catch my breath




* Gulf Fritillaries tend to visit the yard in the last morning, when it is getting to the steamiest part of the day. They fly so quickly that they are usually here and gone in just a few seconds. This lovely decided to linger at the penta and I was able to catch her at just the right angle for the morning sun to shine through her wings. It was a wondrous moment. Houston has had a lot of rain this summer and everything is bursting with life and color.
