Overlooking
What sometimes passes
For a garden,
Planning
Plantings
For the butterflies

I saw on the news that the Monarch butterflies are making a huge comeback this year. The only good news I've seen lately.

Nothing quite as beautiful as a butterfly and you presented them well here.

I was looking at a pack of Sunflower seeds yesterday and planning where to plant them.  We have a couple of months to go before planting anything, but starter plants have been planted all around town.  It's almost spring.  The days are longer and the snow sparkles with ice crystals.

I love spring.

I agree Karilea.
Beautiful pic and we all should take the time to absorb the beauty that surrounds us.
Planning and planting a garden is one of the most relaxing projects on the planet.
Love this.

That is a beautiful butterfly Karilea. we had some spring here today, but winter is coming back Monday and Tuesday again.

How barren a garden can be without butterflies to wing a dream or two and to pull us out of our cocoons!  Exquisite wordpaint!  ~Karen
