A little yellow visitor pauses long enough for a few photographs.

Surprise! A Snapdragon Pit Stop

Butterflies flutter by, and I do mean by sometimes, even before I can get a photograph!
While spending time at a little country farmhouse in Springfield, Georgia, this Cloudless Sulphur gave me a chance.

A snapdragon pit stop. Apparently, this bloom was worth a little longer.

He stopped at the yellow snapdragons and stayed long enough for me to catch his good side.

Multiple times! Gee, you know I was happy about that.

A Flutter Between Flowers

Tight close-up of a yellow butterfly beside a yellow snapdragon bloom, showing rounded spots on its upright folded wings.
Yellow beside yellow. Those little wing spots give him away.
A yellow butterfly perches beside the upper blooms of a yellow snapdragon cluster surrounded by dry soil, scattered grass, and small plants.
A few flowers in the garden, and suddenly I have plenty to photograph.

Neal and I took time this week to escape city life for a bit of the farm life. So calm that it’s quite exciting!

Here’s the whole stalk, with our little visitor near the top.

A yellow butterfly rests on yellow snapdragon blooms atop a tall leafy stalk, with white flowers and bare garden soil behind it.
One little flutter by, with a whole stalk of snapdragons to choose from.

I’m quite happy to spend a little time looking at this corner of the garden.

There’s always room for another quiet spell in the garden here. I’ve shared my yellow visitor; I’d enjoy hearing who keeps you company outdoors.

What would you happily watch with nowhere else to be?

“Learn from a butterfly, land where you can and rest awhile!”
