Marley among the wildflowers, a purrfect pairing...these are a few of my favourite things as well as Tom Petty’s song.

Marley usually stays within the confines of the backyard cat enclosure. However, lately with the beautiful Spring weather, he escapes constantly...playing hide-and-seek into the backyard amidst the wildflowers and tall grass. He is in his element and definitely belongs among the wildflowers.

A phrase from Tom Petty’s Wildflowers song:

🎶You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worry

You belong somewhere you feel free

You belong somewhere you feel free🎶

Bloom - is Result - to meet a Flower

And casually glance

Would cause one scarcely to suspect

The minor Circumstance

Assisting in the Bright Affair

So intricately done

Then offered as a Butterfly

To the Meridian -

To pack the Bud - oppose the Worm -

Obtain it's right of Dew -

Adjust the Heat - elude the Wind -

Escape the prowling Bee -

Great Nature not to disappoint

Awaiting Her that Day -

To be a Flower, is profound

Responsibility

Fiorire - è il fine

chi passa un fiore con uno sguardo distratto

stenterà a sospettare le minime circostanze

coinvolte in quel luminoso fenomeno

costruito in modo così intricato

poi offerto come una farfalla al mezzogiorno

Colmare il bocciolo — combattere il verme

ottenere quanta rugiada gli spetta

regolare il calore — eludere il vento

sfuggire all'ape ladruncola

non deludere la natura grande

che l'attende proprio quel giorno —

essere un fiore, è profonda responsabilità

Emily dickinson

Yesterday delivered both snow and cold weather. But still spring is fighting the winter!

Yesterday there were six monarchs in the yard, four of them were laying eggs. I checked the milkweed to find thousands of eggs and a whole lotta various sized caterpillars.

In protective custody I have thirty monarch caterpillars munching away on milkweed. Fourteen are in chrysalis stage and one has eclosed (hatched) this morning and awaits release once his wings dry.

The monarch in this image was hanging out on the pink Vinca flower then he went to the justice, salvia and finally the milkweed before I moved along. I saw my first Palamedes yesterday while I was out. I was unable to get a shot because when you chase butterflies, they fly away. Naturally, the Palamedes flew over my neighbors rooftop and did not return during my outdoor time. Perhaps it will return today.

Our winter has been very mild this year. I am thankful for that and for what seems to be an early spring. The plants are growing, birds are singing and butterflies are flitting. Of course all of that causes me to have a bit of spring fever and I desire to spend every waking moment outside.

I hope you have a sensational Sunday, happy snapping.

This is a photo of the Manitowish River in the Northern Highlands state forest north of Boulder Junction Wisconsin. This is my destination on a beautiful sunny spring day to hear the water cascading over the rocks and to see the beautiful clouds pass overhead. It is a serious case of Spring Fever to say the least.
