Flutter By!

Macro Monday

Hubby and I went to the local Butterfly house here in town and I will be posting some of the pictures of the different butterflies, birds, and animals we saw there.

 It was gorgeous there, tons of plants, flowers and a big pond in the middle. Mist sprinklers here and there. Bridges, and wooden paths to traverse. Benches along the way which with my injured leg were my friend!!

 

 Blue Monday

 Blue skies coming in from behind the glass gave an appearance of being outside to the place. It was very warm and humid inside. Kind of tropical!

 Monday Mellow Yellow

 I wish I knew the names of the different butterflies to add here, but I don't. I just enjoyed watching them, flying and taking breaks on different leaves of the abundant foliage there.

 Mandarin Orange Monday

 This butterfly was beautiful, and hanging out on orange flowers to boot!

 

Come back over the next few days to check out more photos of Butterfly House!

 

Project 52 - Harvest/Autumn



One of our local farm markets where we buy fresh vegetables, meats and dairy. I don't have my own garden but love to buy seasonal and fresh groceries from the markets.

This particular farm has a petting zoo for kids to the side of the market. A Pumpkin field across the street as well.

Grunge it up

I have been playing with some textures lately and these two photos are the result.

Texture is from Shadowhouse Creations, it is a grungy type texture and I think it goes well with rusty barbed wire.

I have to admit I really like rough and darker and grungier textures and photos rather than the soft pastel creations. I don't know, I guess its all about preferences!

My hubby says they look oppressive!

Gerber Daisies

My daughter was here visiting for a week and on her last evening here brought me a bucket of Gerber daisies home from her best friend Mandy's place. Mandy's family grows Gerbers in a huge greenhouse and supply the flowers to stores all over the mainland.

I didn't even have enough vases for all of them, so mason jars etc work fine to hold this bounty!

I couldn't even begin to pick my favorite colour of Gerbers. I love them all. How can you not be happy with a house full of Gerbers!

I even like the back end of them, although my hubby doesn't quite get that!

I simply love them, always have.

I love the back of flowers as well. I think we don't always look at the whole picture. Turn something over and you have a whole new perspective!

A little artwork!

Hope you enjoyed my flowers. I simply had to share them with you all!
