Excitement Added To My Day

Was outside walking around in the yard. Enjoying the cool sunshine. The butterfly bushes are both still in bloom. And a few skipper butterflies are visiting. The hummingbirds are still visiting the deck feeder as well. Snapped a few photos of the butterflies. And brought some fresh blooms inside to enjoy. They smell so good. Roses still blooming as well. This photo shows a shadow on Dustin's garden bench from the Black Knight butterfly bush. And the skipper butterfly was enjoying the blooms. More little things to make my day brighter.

Beautiful shot. I haven't seen very many insects, not even the damn mosquitoes that've been having lunch at my expense.

Lucky you. I have yet to see any butterflies on my butterfly bushes. They are organic, and I've never figured out why the butterflies don't come unless they come when I'm not outside looking.

@CarolDM Me, too. But my eyes are really sensitive to light now and I can't be outside too much.

A lovely capture. Maybe some day we will get the front yard landscaped with some flowers that will bring some butterflies and hummingbirds.

What a nice picture, you have to always ready to snap a picture because the butterflies can fly away!
