White Butterfly on Sky Flower
The flower is a durante erecta or sky flower, and I want to thank this lovely white butterfly for making this photo! I am trying to crop according to Nancy’s rule of thirds, but there is a problem. What should be the focus of interest—the butterfly or the flower? Which photo do you like best, top or bottom?

Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Apr 24, 2019
This little hibiscus bush right next to my kitchen door is very faithful in providing a bloom at a time. Nice to be greeted to this surprise most days when I go out to feed the cats. It is a Spanish Dancer. Love the bloom and love the name.

Aloe Blooms with Bees: FOTD Apr 21, 2019
Click on photos to enlarge.
The aloe are in full bloom now, and the bees are taking full advantage. They tunnel down into the blooms until their entire bodies are obscured, then back out covered in pollen. They are absolutely drunk on nectar, or so it seems, and as determined as Morrie when he in in ball-fetching mode.
