Nature’s Art #10.
Hello once again everyone! It’s the last Friday before Christmas, Muffin and I are not stirring but the mouse sure is. Whoever came up with the phrase “quiet as a mouse” obviously never had a mouse in the house. Mice are noisy critters. Running through the walls. And ceiling. Constantly chewing. One likes to chew on the ceiling above my bed. One of these days he is going to make it through and fall on my bed, probably while I am sleeping. Though I won’t be for long if it happens. Because Muffin will be after it so fast, trampling me in the process. As long as the mouse doesn’t go under the blankets with me. That would be too much. I don’t mind Muffin under the blankets, but not a mouse. No way. No mice allowed. Sigh.
Here is today’s art in nature…
We’ll start with a beautifully veined maple leaf getting dressed in it’s autumn colors. With some nice green balsam branches in the background.
Here is another one of those fantastic seed heads, but this time it’s the much smaller Canada hawkweed. These are about the size of dandelions.
And there we have Friday’s selection of art from nature. I hope you all have a fantastic Friday and God bless!

Daily Pics #39.
Hello everyone on this milder December day. Hard to believe the difference in the weather and it’s going to keep getting warmer on the weekend and stay nice right through Christmas. This has been such an unusual winter so far, with temps constantly going up and down. It is very nice to have these warmer breaks from that bitter cold. Most of our winter is still ahead of us so it will be interesting to see how the remainder goes. The end of this year is almost upon us with a new year beginning in less than 2 weeks. And that means new things happening here at Steve’s Country. Due to this injury taking longer than I expected to heal, I have had to make changes to some of my plans. I can’t get out to get very many winter pics as I had hoped to do, especially down by the river which would be quite beautiful this time of year.
But for now, let’s look at today’s pictures…
A beautiful painted lady butterfly sitting on top of a red clover blossom to start things off for us today.
And now a lovely fritillary butterfly sitting on a blue and lavender delphinium. Such beautiful colors of a warm summer day. It brings out the daydreaming in me.🌞🌴😂😹
I hope you all have a most fabulous Friday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
