https://globalspin.com/2005/03/butterfly-time/ a glimpse into the tiny mind of Chris Radcliff Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8 https://globalspin.com/2005/03/butterfly-time/comment-page-1/#comment-704 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 21:03:23 +0000 http://globalspin.com/wp/2005/03/31/534/#comment-704 I was at UCSD today and they were all over, clouds of them, dipping and swaying and dancing fiercely. They made my trip so much more lovely than I expected. As I drove past the swathes of yellow flowers lining the freeway and Gilman Drive’s canyon I thought, “Nice fast food for them!”

We’ve gone back into cool, rainy and gray (after sunny and 73 yesterday) but there HAVE been robins and I saw my first flowers of the year next to a warm air vent sticking out of one of the buildings at school. When I visit California now it astonishes me how flowers are a year-round thing. Daffodils are starting to push up. It will be nice when they bloom. And crocuses.

Last week I was in Vegas, took a side trip to Death Valley, and saw both an incredible number of wildflowers and their corresponding butterflies. I’ll post some wildflower pictures in the next few days.
