Description
Atop of Mt. Lemmon, Arizona, part of the Catalina Mountain Range, in the Coronado National Forest, were lot's of Indian Blanket flowers. It is a flower belonging to the Sunflower family. Standing like showy pinwheels, they exhibit BLANKET-like density, which combines with blending of bright reds and yellows, to form a striking tapestry of color.
It is a widely cultivated ornamental plant used as a perennial garden flower, that attracts butterflies. The "butterflies" certainly were attracted to these Sun Blanket Flowers, affording me the opportunity to have a photography shoot with the my favorites..."butterflies", landing all over these florals. It was a gusty day 8,000 feet up, as well as a slippery, rocky slope!
So me, and the Painted Lady butterflies had a bit of difficulty on this photo shoot. But I have to say the ladies pretty cooperative all things considered! And why not they say, "IT'S MY SECURITY BLANKET" flower!

Congratulations on over 500 views.
Janet Marie replied:
Yes it has. I had entered it in your group at 495 views. It seems that it gained views while it was in the pending file, waiting to be added to the 200 Club. Hence, by the time it was seen, it rejected for already reaching 500 views. Thank you for the Congrats.

~ Mmmmm,... now you have become a Butterfly Whisperer too ? ))) It's nice to befriend Butterflies, isn't it? When they feel safe, they just continue to pose and play with you ))) Sweet capture Dearest One ))) HUGe L & F ))) e~
Janet Marie replied:
Eva!! How fabulous to see you! I don't think I have become the Butterfly Whisperer, other than loving them and the pleasure of capturing them. This one did allow me to have my spontaneous photo session. It was a pleasant surprise to traverse the wind and treacherous footing to get these shots. The results makes it so worth it!! It too had to deal with the wind, so it seem determined to not fly all over the place like they normally do for me. I suppose it did feel safe and let me be a paparazzi. I like how it is totally in it's au naturel state in the wild. I am glad you like it and for all your inspiring and encouraging words!! Janet💕💕💕
Janet Marie replied:
P.S. I really appreciate you making a favorite of mine, a favorite of yours too!💕💕💕

It seems to be staring right at you and saying, “Here’s looking at you, Kid”! Lovely flutterby capture, dear Janet! .....Fav / like
Janet Marie replied:
Aren't you so sweet to express such lovely words about my photography! I love butterflies, but I find it so difficult to photograph them because they just won't stay still. We both had to deal with the wind, so it seem to stand its ground. I also felt as though it was looking at me. I like what you thought it might have been saying to me. I love to capture my flutterbys in natural settings like this. Just pure raw nature! I am glad you like and feel it's a lovely capture. I appreciate you choosing a favorite of mine as one of your favorites too!! 💕💕💕💕
