I usually like to use current photos for #ArtAdventCalendar (Day 09) but yesterday I was only out long enough to cut a little wood + too lazy to take photos of decorations..lol So! as we approach Winter Solstice, views from the opposite side of the year as we approached Summer Solstice. I chose shots with a lot of shadow as a reminder that there always needs to be a balance between Light + Dark #animist #pagan #summer #florespondence #Bloomscrolling #butterfly #inverts #NativePlants #pollinators
The tip of a native pea plant (Lathyrus ochroleucus) emerges from dark green shadow to a bit of sun that lights a couple of golden green leaves and bracts along with a cluster of narrow tubular cream coloured flowers. One small butterfly- silver grey with white fringed wings adn almost electric blue painted on its centre- sits on the flower cluster while another flies toward the flowers, about to land. The background is shadowed foliage, with the edges darkened and blurred to enhance the already dark shadows, while the green -gold of leaves has been intensified emphasising the idea that the height of summer still holds darkness even while Sun is at peak.

After a week of mostly cold (for SE TX), wet, cloudy weather, the sun came out yesterday and with that I was surprised again to see some late season #butterflies, mostly #monarchs and long-tailed skippers, swarming the main blooming plant remaining in the front #garden, the mistflower. Made for this one brief encounter. Sharing is caring.

I thought all the #monarchs were long gone, migrated off to parts further south - in fact there’s very little butterfly activity in the garden right now as you’d expect in late November - so I was surprised to find this straggler visiting the mistflower in the front #garden bed earlier this week.

Painted Traveler "A Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) hovers mid-flight, wings fully extended in a moment of suspended motion. Its vibrant orange wings, bordered in black and dotted with white, blaze against a softly blurred backdrop of green and brown—suggesting a meadow or garden. The butterfly appears to be flying toward the camera, its body angled forward, giving the image a sense of approach and immediacy. The motion blur on the wings hints at movement, while the crisp detail of its body draws the viewer into its path. It feels like a quiet encounter—fleeting, graceful, and personal—as if the butterfly is offering a moment of recognition before continuing its journey." - Microsoft Copilot

@pirarucu I've been saving this #moth / #butterfly for a rainy day. I took this #photo in #HongKong . #photography #wildlife #Insects
rare moth or butterfly with a red head, blue antennae, blue back, and wings which are black, blue, and white.
#photography #photo #wildlife #insects #moth #hongkong #butterfly @Ainsley

"A Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) hovers midair, wings outstretched in a moment of suspended grace. Its vibrant orange wings, veined with bold black lines and dotted with white spots along the edges, seem to glow against the blurred backdrop — a soft wash of greens and grays that suggests foliage without defining it. The butterfly’s body is slender and dark, its antennae curved forward like delicate sensors. The motion is palpable: you can almost feel the air beneath its wings, the gentle pulse of flight. Light catches the upper wing surfaces, highlighting the contrast between fiery orange and inky black. The image is signed “© Swede’s Photographs” in the lower left corner, a quiet signature to a fleeting marvel. The Monarch appears both fragile and determined — a creature built for migration, caught here in a single, sovereign beat of its journey." - Microsoft Copilot

Orange in the Air

This morning, a Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) fluttered through my backyard, its wings flickering like stained glass in motion.

"A Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) hovers midair, its wings outstretched in a moment of suspended elegance. The vibrant orange panels of its wings blaze like stained glass held to the sun, bordered by bold black veins and dotted with delicate white spots that shimmer like ceremonial beads. Each wingbeat seems to whisper through the air, a fluttering rhythm that carries the butterfly across your yard like a sovereign emissary of autumn. The background is softly blurred, a wash of greens and browns that cradle the Monarch in visual silence, allowing its colors to speak. There’s motion in the stillness—an airborne pause that feels both fleeting and eternal. This isn’t just a butterfly—it’s a living glyph of transformation, endurance, and quiet majesty." - Microsoft Copilot

Framed art shown in a display room.
Abstract floral with a rare green butterfly, a joyful explosion of color and life! Sure to brighten any room in your home and maybe even bring prosperity! Created using alcohol ink on Yupo paper. Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life. In Chinese mythology, a green butterfly is a symbol of good. It also represents love and prosperity. Some think that encountering a green butterfly represents growth and flourishing development, whether that means a flourishing relationship, business or personal hobby. To some, a green colored butterfly can represent good luck and money. It is also thought that seeing a green butterfly indoors, or flying near the home, can mean success in a business or venture. If a green butterfly flies towards you or circles around you, it can mean that money will soon fly into your life. A green butterfly is associated with powerful change and growth which is or will be soon occurring in your life. If one were to land on you it could be sending a message of hope and encouragement.

Note the left wing on this Gulf Fritillary, the big gap near the body, wing torn almost completely off. Yet this battered #butterfly seemed to be managing fine despite that, flittering around the zinnias. They just keep going till they can’t.

I kept this watercolor painting loose and fresh to capture the beauty of the delicate butterfly and the flowers in a summer garden.
Enjoy!

Butterfly and Pink Zinnias is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. In a summer garden, Zinnias blossom in bright pink. While the flowers and the green leaves are mainly depicted abstractly, one Zinnia blossom is more realistically worked out. An orange butterfly approaches this blossom. The picture is painted in a loose fresh style.

I live in north #Florida and Gulf Fritillaries are fortunately common. Always enjoy watching them... but my favorite is the "Zebra Longwing"... our official state insect!

I’ve been seeing a number of these long-tailed skipper #butterflies in my front #garden the past week or so. Seems to be consistent with previous years - more of them around in early autumn. Love their blueish coloring but they’re difficult to photograph since they tend to alight only briefly & flit away so fast.

I really like this butterfly graphium sarpedon, which commonly seen in central Tokyo, not often talked about by butterfly enthusiasts, or many people don't even notice it because it flies so hurriedly (they are slowing down a bit in autumn, so that I could take some photos) #nature #butterfly

uploading a few more graphium sarpedon... butterfly season would be over soon, but the weather was nice today, so I could take a bunch of photos of them #nature #butterfly

#Butterfly #Fall #Iowa #flower

Exciting day today! The lone Mexican Sunflower plant (a volunteer that started very late) had 2 Monarch Butterfly visitors today. The plant flowered too late for the hummingbirds and probably too late (so I thought) for the Monarchs.

I think both of these photos are of the same individual. (More about the flower in a comment.)

Side view of an orange and black butterfly with its wings closed. The butterfly is perched on an upward facing flower with orange-red petals and a yellow-orange center.
A monarch butterfly with its wings spread wide open in the late afternoon sunshine. Only a tiny part of the flower is visible below the butterfly.
