This is so fresh and beautiful Helen!
Thank you, Helen: I let the butterfly friendly ‘weeds’ grow in places around my garden but it’s still rare to see a yellow admiral–& such moments of specialness deserve their haiku.
Thank you, always very nice.
Thanks, Steve. 🙂
Mm, I love the movement I could sense from the yellow admiral and the leaf cushioning the meditative stillness of the stone garden – stunning images, Helen 🙂
Thank you, Elizabeth—glad you like!
