For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

Hello once again to all of you! Well, another new series begins today. It will not always be butterflies, or other insects for that matter, however, butterflies will show up now and then. Today it is the Milbert’s Tortoiseshell butterfly, which is quite common in our area, and a very beautiful, brightly colored butterfly. There seem to be more than normal around this year, like some of our other butterflies. Have a great Sunday everyone and God bless!

Good morning everyone! I thought it was time to get back with our former series about art in nature, just with a slight name change. This pic I got the other day, somewhat by accident as I was trying to get a pic of a dragonfly that was sitting on this, but he got away too quickly.
However, I liked the look of it anyway, so here it is. This is the dried seed pods of those tall blue spike flowers that the bees love so much on the hill out back. The flowers are starting to grow again so the bees will soon be back at them. I hope you enjoy our first pic for the series. Have a wonderful day and God bless!
