Bonny Puckett > I captured this photo of a dragonfly a couple weeks ago. I was at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Chihuly glass art exhibit and this little guy was hanging out on an aloe vera plant near the sun.  He didn't seem to mind me getting close. In fact, I think he was actually posing for me.  The yellows, oranges and reds you see in the background are the from the Chihuly sun.
Bonny Puckett > Well its the middle of June and everyone always thinks its insanely hot in Arizona this time of year. The truth is, this summer has been relatively cool so far. Right now for instance, it's only 85 degrees. That's perfect weather for getting out and seeing some of what AZ has to offer. Go for a hike, lounge by the pool or take a stroll through the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens. That's where I was when I saw these beautiful wild flowers showing off their spring color late into the season. This goes to show that the desert isn't all just dirt and cactus.

Bonny Puckett > I captured this shot of this beautiful butterfly at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens in their butterfly garden. Their guide identified it as a zebra longwing, however the other photos I've seen of zebra longwings did not have the same bright red spots and beautiful blue eyes. If you happen to know what type of butterfly this is, please let me know.
