Daily Pics 2020…#41

“Painted Lady” butterfly.

Good morning everyone on this beautiful Monday morning!  It’s a little milder this morning with a bit of light snow once again.  Well, we had a couple days of bird pics and we will have more of them coming up too, but today we will share some insect pictures.  Some people are not too excited about insects and some are not too colorful perhaps, but some are really quite colorful and interesting in so many ways.  So sometimes there will be insects added in too, plus flowers and even some beautiful summer scenery to give us a boost for our day.  Maybe I will even toss in some winter pics too for those who are fans of the winter season.  So there will be a mix of different things for a while.  And don’t forget, chapter 7 of our mystery story comes out today as well!

And now for our pics of the day…

Starting with some beautiful lilac flowers and a tiger swallowtail butterfly.  I love lilacs and there most beautiful scent, just too bad they have such a short season of blooming.IMG_4001

And here we have one of many different species of dragonflies in our area.  I love having them around when I’m sitting outside or walking through the forest.  They will keep flies and mosquitoes nicely away from me.

That’s it for today’s pics, I look forward to seeing you back here again tomorrow for more pics.  I hope you all have a marvelous Monday and God bless!

Fine Summer Dreams…A Poem.

Fine Summer Dreams

Watch that sun rise o’er the trees,

Brings a smile, so wide, with ease.

Walking through the forest slow,

Breathing air so fresh I know.

Summer green is fine and fair,

Bright shining sun heats the air.

Such a chorus birds do sing,

Through the forest it does ring.

Trees and flowers do abound,

Summer beauty all around.

End of day brings setting sun,

All so free for everyone.

Yet this beauty really seems,

So far away, summer dreams.
