This time, it was purely unintentional, in that I went out to photograph some shrubs with a before photo before I started on trimming them. When I got out to the palo verde where Damsel had decorated the green tree with some red Christmas ornaments for the season, a butterfly suddenly came out of nowhere and posed on one of her ornaments. <\/p>\n<p>Chalk this one up to luck &#8211; AND the fact that there are still butterflies, songbirds, humming birds and other critters that remain here in spite of the cooler temperatures.
