Getting a Zing Out of the Zinnias

Dec 11, 2015

If you're missing the warmth of summer and watching butterflies flutter around your garden,  sometimes it's good to back pedal.

We were looking through our zinnia photos today and came across a Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) spreading its wings on two different zinnias.

We're not sure if if got a zip, zest or zing out of the zinnias, but it lingered and so did we.

The colors clashed in one photo. Good thing the fashion police aren't around.

The butterfly didn't mind, and neither did the zinnia.
