Backyard Scene
We had been having temperatures in the 90's with heat index up to 110 here in the South. Last week we finally had a few days of more comfortable days heat wize and with less humidity. I took advantage of this by having my lunch on our screen porch. I love it out there where I can enjoy our flowers and listen to the birds sing. As I was eating my lunch, I noticed the butterflies on our butteryfly bushes. They were really enjoying their lunch too. After lunch I went out to try to capture the beauty. Of course, as I was trying to take pictures, they would fly from flower to flower and be upside down or their beautiful wings turned away from me. I wish I had gotten a wing spread of the black butterfly--it was beautiful!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures that I was able to get. Love,
Marie

ReplyDeleteHow very pretty! My daughter Jennie has been taking pictures of some wonderful winged critters, too!
ReplyDeleteMarie, Thanks for stopping by Gracious Interiors.blogspot.com. I love your idea of framing crocheted items. And, I am sure your daughter or daughter-in-law enjoyed the outfits you passed on to them. I did a bit of that as well. By the way, I enjoyed your butterflies.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by and commenting on my blog. I had to stop over and meet you too. :-) I love birds as well, we have a bunch of birdhouses in our front yard and one in the back. We have beautiful bluebirds that come and nest. Love your photos you posted today, butterflies are another of my favorites. So good to meet you, I'm becoming a follower to keep up with the latest! Have a very lovely evening.
Blessings,
Jill
Those photos are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe have been having the same type of weather here.
It seems like the humidity this year is worst than any other summers.
have a great day
We just planted some butterfly bushes and are hoping they do well. We tried a few years ago and they died. Hopefully this spot is better.
ReplyDeleteLove those butterflies!
Hello Marie~ These butterfly photos are so lovely! Such wonderful reminders of God's creation all around us. I see "Painted Ladies" frequently in my own yard going to all the butterfly bushes.

We just planted a butterfly bush this fall and hope it will survive the winter. We live in Michigan. I can't wait to see what butterflies it will attract next summer. Your pictures are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll your hand work is so beautiful!
