Camera Critters-Aug 26, 2013







~~~


I came upon this butterfly one day in my back yard... at the end of it's life cycle.

 So sad and so beautiful!

Camera Critters--Butterflies!

~~~~
~Camera Critters~























Of Butterflies

I venture out for photo shots
of butterflies.
 (sometimes, for hours.)
They, so, enchant, with their gossamer wings;
flitting there, among the flowers.

The colors range from soft to bold.
Some showy as a fine spring day!
Other’s beauty is understated,
still, frilly as a fine crochet.

Some are swift, not pausing long,
to sample blooms along the way.
Others linger, just hanging there;
as if their beauty’s on display.

I stand poised, in wonderment,
and reach to touch that softness there;
(The contact's slight, but oh, so real!)
and know the feel of angel hair!

Pink Saturday (for Aug 25, 2012)

~~~




~~~

We stopped by to visit with my sister and B-I-L yesterday.

To my delight ~and the delight of the butterflies~ her Zinnias are still blooming!

There were many colors of the flowers,
but for "Pink Saturday,"  I have captured some  in shades of pink!

 Enjoy!

Mellow Yellow Monday-Aug 13, 2012- country yellows

~~~




~~~
Yellow is such a happy color and so summery!!

Here are a few country MYM 
scenes around our place!
~~ 

~I've heard this called "Walking Iris," but I'm not sure~
~~Pics BELOW~~

~a colorful caterpillar~

~This little yellow flower is a weed but to me it's beautiful in it's own way~

~We have lots of these small, bright yellow, butterflies in summer~

~The last pic is of me and my youngest daughter, Tina. This is from Oct 2011...
My blouse with the yellow flowers seemed to fit this post!

 I just came across the pic and we both look happy in it-I wanted to use it.
 (It made me happy to see it) 
 I don't often post my grown-up children!!
  (usually, just the "Grands!)  :)





 Have a happy summer day!

Love,
 Junie

This is a butterfly/flower picture from my files. I've always liked this and I'm sure I  have posted it before, but maybe not for 
Mellow Yellow Monday! 

Anyway, I'm posting it again because I don't have anything new to use this time! (sorry)

Enjoy!

Mellow Yellow Monday~Feb 20-2012

~~~




~~~

This is not a new photo but it's one I have always liked from a previous year.

Our citrus trees have suffered from the freezes of the past 3 years but this year (pictured) the oranges were at their best!

 This was probably taken in late Nov because that's when the fruit  is at it's peak!

Thursday Theme Song ~ Sept 8,2011

~~~


~~~

Lovely and talented
Ms Dolly Parton


"Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing."

Mellow Yellow Monday ~ Aug 29, 2011~ in the garden

~~



~

This time of year my  flower gardens have become untidy and overgrown!
To the butterflies, though, the nectar is still as sweet!



I often come upon these guys when venturing out among the flowers, too! Colorful to see but I don't get too close!

Mellow Yellow Monday-Mar 22, 2011

~~~




~~~

(Click on any photo to enlarge)
This week I glanced out my kitchen window and in my line of view I saw a merry dance of these 3 butterflies,  joyfully hovering over a patch of wildflowers...


Of course I grabbed my camera and headed out to try and 'capture' them in my lens! It proved to be not an easy task, as I was unable to get close to them; they were so exuberant in their celebration of spring!




Anyway, will share what I have, as this is my first real encounter with the butterflies so far this spring!  I loved seeing them, even though the pictures could be better!



Enjoy your spring!
