Time for a slightly different approach.

| I find this passalong Pavonia consistently charming. | 
I don't have much to say today.

| Didn't see the butterfly that laid the egg for this guy.  Fortunately my observation was not key to the process. | 
I did want to share a few recent images from the garden.
|  | 
| Cedar waxwings stuck around to fill up on loquats before heading north. | 
Intermittent rains both watered and kept the heat at bay through the end of April. 
Plants and pollinators alike are happy about that.
|  | 
| Pollinators of every stripe have been happy to share the loquat bounty. | 
So am I.
|  | 
| Question Mark Butterfly, (Polygonia interrogationis) is a fan of the fermenting loquat fruit. | 
My oak pollen "problem" is over for another year, though other trees continue their courtship dances in and on the wind.
I am able to enjoy my gardens from the other side of the windows again.
Here's to time spent outside with no more than the usual set of possible consequences.

| Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) visits Lantana. | 
Fare thee well, April, here's looking forward to May!
