... another Butterfly on Echineacia

Butterflies on Echineacia (again look closely - you'll see them)

As I sat down for a rest in the garden I noticed all the action going on even though I had ceased to be in on it - it struck me that there was an entire feature film that could be shot on the lives of creatures that passed through and around my little plot ... a chipmunk scurried past on the right and then began coming towards me on my chair - it passed my ankle as though I were just part of it all ... where's the camera when things like this occur (not that it could capture the whole essence of what it's like actually being there)?
