WINGSPAN: 2-2.5 in.
HOST PLANTS: Larvae need cassia species in the pea family. Adults like red flowers such as red morning-glories, cypressvine, and scarlet creeper.
FUN FACT: Their exceptionally-long tongues allow them to reach inside of flowers that many other butterflies can’t access.
Observing a lovely, late-spring cloudless sunset over the city this evening. The bridge adds a nice effect. I was on the way to eat dinner with the fambam at this time... Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Saturday around sunset, June 3, 2017; 8:21 p.m.)
Weather update:
A change in the weather pattern was on the horizon and weather we don't usually expect in early June... High pressure was still over the west but was weakening as a weak frontal system approaches the coast. This weak frontal system was to move across the state with clouds at most for us here in the Bay Area... By Monday and Tuesday, the high pressure ridge bounces back over the coast. Then by Wednesday, the big change starts as a low pressure trough deepens off the coast with increasing clouds and cooler temps. A deep low pressure trough, which is unusual for this time of year, was to be along the coast. During this time, the north state was to see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with even periods of rain. Temps were to also be 10-20 degrees below normal Thursday and Friday. The trough was to be east of the region by Saturday night. Another weaker trough was to move across the area Monday with showers over the coastal & northern mountains...

It really is a pretty little place. I liked the different layers in this...the water lily things...then seeing to the bottom...then water, then reflection, then trees 'n stuff, then sky. I'm your photo tour guide. :D

This individual spent only 2 seconds at each flower it stopped at, as it slowly wandered northward along the beach.

This is our rainy season, but so far we have had the least rain of any January on record. And unseasonably warm weather. Beautiful yes! But those of you sitting in snow up to your arm pits shouldn't envy us. We're already rationing water in the East Bay, and it's getting worse. The salmon are dying off in CA because there is no water in the streams for them to swim to their breeding grounds. And of course, the farms are suffering.. Is this a temporary draught, or is this the new order of things brought about by global warming?

Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) caterpillar to chrysalis sequence 1.
Ladera Ranch, California, USA.
July 16, 2014.
This is the first in a sequence of photographs showing a Cloudless Sulphur butterfly caterpillar making the amazing transition from larva to pupa (chrysalis).
The sequence actually began days ago, when the adult butterfly's wings and other anatomy began to form inside the caterpillar.
One day before this sequence, the caterpillar wandered around and decided to pupate here on this stick. Once the decision was made, it fastened its butt to the stick with silk, and fashioned the silken "girdle" around its midsection to provide further support.
How the caterpillar knows how to do this complicated and intelligent process which required some degree of foresight, I cannot imagine, other than to say the usual "instincts". Personally, I'd love to know a lot more--way beyond that simplistic standard explanation. :-)

This is the shot I chose for my new business card. I don't think I've ever posted this image before. A similar one, but not this. ;-)
I had posted my business card in low rez, but then decided I'd rather not have my personal phone number posted publicly right now. ;-)

As I took this photo, all I could think of were the lines from Michael Symmons Roberts' Last Words:
Think of the extravagance of green,
and think especially of the sky,
its blinding cloudlessness.
This poem is one of my favorites, and while these lines are far from being the most powerful ones in the entire poem, they were the ones that first came to mind.

I found lots of Cassias blooming in a shopping mall parking lot, of all places. There were lots of eggs and caterpillars on the flowers. :-)
