Snapped this shot yesterday and thought I’d share it before everything goes to seed.

Snapped this shot yesterday and thought I’d share it before everything goes to seed.

Caught a few snaps of Monarch Butterflies flitting among plants in the neighborhood yesterday.

Time flies when life is a party.
It was one hell of a hot and humid day in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia 25 years ago. Nevertheless, we did the deed. And it was one helluva party that folks still talk about to this day.
Today my wife and I celebrate 25 years of marriage. There have been some moments along the way Some up. Some down. But we’re still here, together finding more.
So Happy 25th Anniversary to us.
Whew. Just completed a big weekend with the grandkids celebrating our grandson’s 4th Birthday. When the selected theme is Spider-Man, you end up with all sorts of Avengers as well as more Spider-Men things than you can possibly imagine.



Quite a fun time. Also an exhausting one.
Whew.
Couch spuds
In honor of National Potato Day here in the U.S.

Another lucky catch with the camera.

Just another shot of a Monarch butterfly toiling in the neighborhood.

These moments give me joy.
Just a quick share of a shot I caught of a Monarch butterfly yesterday.

Amazed I was able to catch this full wing spread. FWIW I’ve seen fewer Monarchs and Swallowtails this year than in the last two.
Caught in the act
I happened to look out the back door this morning and caught this squirrel checking out the hula hoops and other back porch detritus. As I pulled out my camera, the squirrel looked back.

Eye catching
We’ve stayed in this same location in Virginia for a few summers now and it’s always a weird delight to see these Purple Passionflower blooms there as they appear almost alien.
