A heat advisory continues.

I seek the comfort of my fan.

Keep your cool,
tempers can flare in the heat.

Happy Sunday Safari.

Sherry,
These photos are really really good! Zebra's usually never stay on flowers for too many photos. Enjoyed very much...

Dear Sherry,

Such a moving and beautiful post.
Zebra....I can hear you whisper her name.
A wonderful set of images of a stunning butterfly.

Stay cool my friend.....

Bless the butterflies.

Thank you! I have not seen many butterflies this year, and none as beautiful as that!

Barb said...

She is lovely and the thought of her fanning your flowers makes me feel cool. Hope your fan works as well!

She is beautiful! Thanks for sharing her with us.. I have never had the opportunity to see one in person.

Wendy said...

Oh, she's lovely! You capture her so well, Sherry.
Hugs

She's beautiful, Sherry! Isn't it amazing how these creatures know where to go and what schedule to keep; I always marvel at the migration of the Monarchs, too. I went to a lecture on hummingbirds Sunday and learned so much. Now when I see them in the fall, I'll know they're storing up energy for their flight across the Gulf of Mexico.

Sherry,
I've never seen a Zebra swallowtail up close. I think it is our most beautiful butterfly in the continental U.S.
They say we have them here in East Texas. I have giant swallowtail and pipevine swallowtail which is attracted to our camphor tree.
Great shots!
