Vibrant yellows with a rainbow of colors in the background.

What a treat to find this little guy taking a break on these elephant ears at the Dallas Arboretum.  The black and orange of this monarch butterfly caught my eye but the curves of the ears lead me right to him.

Swirling background with vibrant colors and deep undertones.

The pair of Irises was found at the Dallas Arboretum, one of my favorite places to in Dallas.  I love the way the petals fell showing the various shades of purple.
