I planted some passion flower vines with the hope of attracting the Gulf Fritillary. Today, when least expected, all the planting, tending, watching and waiting came together . ( A bit like life just when you are ready to quit sometimes the best things happen )
There she was moving so fast , stopping for only very brief seconds to lay her eggs and then moving on.
My heart leap as she landed ever so briefly on a vine tendril hanging all by itself unobstructed . A prayer was sent up asking to please let me get the shot .
Don\'t know if you have ever had the sense that the scene before you is a once in a lifetime opportunity. That is how I felt today. I know it\'s only a butterfly , but I was so thrilled, grateful and ever so thankful .
As always your suggestions, comments, nits and crits are much appreciated. You are teaching me so much , and I thank you.
