Painted lady
butterflies are such a
joy for me to watch as
they work their way
through the hundreds of
coneflowers planted in
my local park. When I saw
these two hanging out
together, I got as close as
I could and clicked away,
waiting for the moment
they would perfectly line
up with each other.

My mother-in-
law’s property
in Oakland, Oregon, is like
a small botanical garden,
with beautiful things
growing everywhere.
My favorite plant there is
her pink Kousa dogwood.
