"Lines create an experience beyond the literal. There is so much potential in losing and finding the line again. Like letting go and being awakened. Lines, like music, create potential for mystery."

Just adding a splash of color to the feed with this crowded field of wildflowers... 🌈
I am (im)patiently waiting for scenes like this to be the norm again. I’ve seen a few bluebonnets starting to pop around town these past few days, so it seems the wait may be reallyyy close to being over! 💐

I captured this image a few seasons ago during an afternoon visit to the farm fields in the Texas Hill Country. From the moment we stepped foot onto the farm property, we encountered a variety of butterflies. Monarchs, Queens, Fritillaries, and multiple species of swallowtails — including the beautiful one in this picture, a Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) — to name a few. This zinnia flower field was particularly bustling with all kinds of pollinator activity. It was amazing to observe. But the flashes of bright metallic blue on the underwings and abdomens of these swallowtails were especially mesmerizing. I patiently waited for one of these blue beauties to sweep down to a red zinnia and after a few chances I was able to successfully capture an image with some rich primary color harmony just as I had envisioned. ❤️💙

When the very last light of day hits a rain shower over the mountains, fiercely magical things happen! Nature, in all her infinite artistry, paints a splendid picture right before your eyes -- and all you can do is hope to be ready; hope to do it justice; hope to remember to pick your jaw up off of the ground because you can't believe this is happening & it looks oh-so-crazy gorgeous & HIT THE DARN SHUTTER BUTTON! :) I am forever intrigued by and learning from Nature, and I feel gratefully whole capturing some of her most stunning moments! | Apex, NV
