Found this blooming profusely at the prairie. It is the food for monarchs and attracts other butterflies as well especially small cabbage whites. PS - there is no butterfly in this shot.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

That bright orange goes so well with green. Beautiful shot with a nice bokeh Kathy.

It doesn't amaze me that we didn't see any cabbage whites in this image, Kathy. In all the years that I took images, I could only capture this 'nervous' butterfly twice. My last attempt was this afternoon in my garden, and of course 'no success' again.
Glad that you've provided us with such a fine and colorful capture, my friend. If not, probably I got even more frustrated, lol.
