I was sitting in the great room when I noticed a black spotted butterfly browsing on one of the red bird of paradise shrubs in the courtyard. I grabbed my camera and went out front hoping to get a shot of the butterfly and flower.
When I got outside, the butterfly flew away at first. After a few seconds, it circled back to the same shrub it had been browsing and resumed. I took several shots of it while it did its thing, this one being among the best photos I got. Click on the image to enlarge.
Are you guys OK? I’m watching video of flashfloods in your neck of the woods.

I hope you’re high & dry!
The retention walls we had built this spring did their job and diverted runoff to the west of the house. We’re on a berm above the road and water didn’t get high enough to get into the house. We’re still looking around but we think we did better than some of the places mentioned in the news blurb you linked. Thanks for asking Danno.
A beautiful flower, being taken care of by a beautiful creature, while at the same time feeding it. I was amazed how those flowers grow just about anywhere in the cities out there.
Glad you & yours are safe!
Thanks Danno. I’m going to post about our situation on the other blog in a while.
