I'm pretty sure that's a Southeast Arizona specialty. But perhaps that was one you missed. (Good call in my book.) Anyway, that photo was taken at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.

Butterflies are very nice, though they haven't captured my imagination quite as vividly as birds and dragonflies. Probably because they mostly refuse to sit still for my camera! Still, I do appreciate the the pollination they provide to the plum tree in my yard. That, and transformative symbolism inherent in the butterfly. Here's one I saw in DC last September while marching to transform the current pResident's war machine:



I'm working with Hands On Network in Biloxi, and yes, they need help--but not during the month of March! It's not that the coast doesn't need the help, but volunteer lodging is stretched thin. Just our group will have 650 volunteers marching through during March. We normally have about 150 people which feels just about right for our space. It's going to be a madhouse here. And I work with volunteer housing issues (in part), so I know every agency is experiencing the same thing, from Texas to Alabama. :crazy:
