From this angle they resemble delicate French stained glass or the best in Tiffany lamp shades. A macro of their faces, however, harkens back to the old B-horror films of the 1950's. Funny how that works. One of these beauties flitted through my backyard yesterday, as I was on my knees, digging, but I didn't have even my cell phone for a capture. That's okay, though; it could never have matched this beauty of a shot, backlit as it is to show off all that gorgeous color.
