Chasing Butterflies

Part of my weekend was spent chasing butterflies and attempting to take their picture while they flitted all over the place.    Let me tell you it wasn’t easy  considering  I was dodging spider webs inhabitated by huge spiders.  Spiders scare me especially when I find myself face to face with them.  I don’t want to get caught with web on my face.

Moving on to a different type of “spider”, the  spider lilies are beginning to bloom. 

The morning glories are still glorious in the morning.  I will miss them when they are gone.

On Sunday a wild morning glory popped up in the yard.

That’s it for me today.  Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hibiscus Heaven

The captivating bloom of a hibiscus takes my breath away.   I have owned quite a few that have produced some stunning flowers.  Below are some of my favorites who sadly have moved on to that great hibiscus heaven in the sky.   Gone but not forgotten.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stalking. But in a good way.

As the heron stalked the unsuspecting crabs, I stalked the heron.

The heron got his crab and I got my picture.

Later that evening I stalked the sunset.

Now I am about to head over to A Southern Day Dreamer and stalk check out all the awesomeness over there.

Thanks for stopping by.

Morning to Sunset

Morning glories, silos, and sunsets.    What do these three have in common?   Nothing really other than I took pictures of each of them all on the same day.

The day started out with the morning glories putting on quite a show.

Then while on a ride in the country, intrigued by this silo I stopped to get a closer look.   Don’t you think the  top resembles a bottle cap?

Off to the left was a barn like structure that wasn’t visible from the street.

Even more shocking was finding a farm house being consumed by its surroundings.

From what I could see it appears to be in good shape.    I can’t imagine why someone would abandon this precious home.  It has a screened in porch for gosh sake!

Fast forward to the evening where the vivid colors of the breathtaking sky were being encroached upon by dark clouds.

Before I could cross the street to get a picture without wires in it, the blazing colors were extinguished and became more muted in their tones.

Thanks for spending the day with me.    It is always a pleasure to have you here.
