AS A GIFT, my son


and daughter-in-law


took me to the Desert


Botanical Garden in


Phoenix, Arizona, where


I took this photo of a


white peacock butterfly


drinking nectar from a


daisy. It reminds me of my


childhood when I would


chase after butterflies


and pick wild daisies to


give to my mother.

LAST SUMMER I planted several flowers native to


Pennsylvania. The flowers attracted an abundance


of butterflies and bees. I would go out each day to


garden and to photograph the wildlife with my Nikon


COOLPIX P900. This orange sulfur butterfly caught


my eye because it matched the flowers.
