Tiny Tuesday

I went to the butterfly house and the botanical gardens for a while this morning, enjoying the cooler temperatures.  This shot appealed to me the most for Tiny Tuesday because of the textures and colors of this Arizona Apricot Gaillardia flower.  I have uploaded a few other images to Flickr.  If you only have time to look at one additional image, please check out this Flame-bordered Charaxis, an exquisite African butterfly which I have never seen before.  

Many thanks to Nickymags888 for hosting Tiny Tuesday for July.  I am on deck for hosting in August and will post a reminder on Sunday.
