Z is for Zen
and sitting Zazen.
They are showing up in the most unusal places.
Z is for zero.
I call them Fairy Lilies.
I saw them growing wild in Texas last winter.
Z is for Zebra Longwing.
These are my favorite of all the butterflies.
I saw them when I was in Texas last winter.
Z is for Zeus.
May you have a zest for life.
May you reach your zenith.
May you know some zanniness.
Happy ABC Wednesday.
We have come full circle.
I am longing for lilies and butterflies.

Loved the Zs Sherry. It won't be so long until the butterflies will be Zipping through the garden. Try to stay warm.
I had a teacher in school whose name began with Z. I did not like him, because he pushed me to test my limits (now I see how caring he was) and determined people whose names begin with Z were intolerable and I should avoid them at all costs! lol
Then I met my husband whose last name begins with a Z and I had to break my infantile rules. Now I love Zs. Now I am one!
Loved your zazen image!
Dear Sherry....I try to follow the path of Buddhism and Zen is a branch of that. Stillness, meditation, to accept what is......
As always you have done the extraordinary.....and produced a most interesting 'Z' post.
I long for the butterflies and bees.....I fell into a deep sleep last night thinking of bumbles......
It has snowed all morning.....it is very cold......the sun is trying to come out from behind the clouds......
Stay ward
Stay strong
as always, zounds! I like!
Wow great post for letter Z. Thanks for sharing!

Couldn't resist your title! Especially love the first two photos; all are so clear and beautifully photographed.
Another fun post, Sherry! I'm looking forward, too, to finding some Zen in my garden watching the bees and the butterflies. Hang in there--a warming trend is on its way!
Sherry, Zoltar is intriguing - just a great set of zzzz's! Your rice bag reminds me of some of Stumptown's coffee bags - they make great dog beds stuffed with cedar shavings. Stay warm - 63 degrees inside is on the cool side!
Nice collection of Zeds. And a zip on a ricebag? What will they think of next?
Cool post! love the zig zag rhyme.
So many creative photos of Z. I really liked the zippered rice bag! I'm going to practice zanniness the rest of the day.
I love the 'zen' picture at the top of your post - I'd love to embroider an image like that (one day).
Thanks for sharing your Z's ... I'm looking forward to flowers, too (butterflies less so, since most of them eat my veg ;) ).
Gosh, you have some interesting Zs there! Love the zipper on the rice sack - that's something you don't see every day! LOL!
Love the Zebra Longwing, too - what a handsome fellow!
I have Zoltar on my ABC Wed., too, but a different one!
Sherry, you forgot a z word.
ZANY!!!
I'm missing warm weather and bare ground. yea, i'm getting tired of teh white stuff.
A difficult letter Sherry...but of course not for you! A lovely selection here and so nice to see reminders of Summer too.
The Zebra Longwing is beautiful!
A fine Z post - perfect!
I am looking forward to spring. Our lilies have been attacked these last two years and I may have a lily free year :-) Hopefully there will be butterflies. A - Z: time to start over :-)
What a lot of good Z's!! Those dear little lilies are so sweet. I long for spring flowers too, but I do have some in my kitchen.
Awwww, I'm kind of sad we're to the Z's. These are wonderful, as always. I love the Zebra Longwings as well. The only place I've seen them is at a "Butterfly House" that used to be near Osage Beach.
Ready for Spring! -Tammy
