I have been thinking for several months that it is time to put this blog to bed. It is time to let go of it before I start repeating my posts. Lately, I have been exploring new territory, and need time to pursue new things.

The best to all of my visitors, it has really been fun. I will be around.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

compton tortoiseshell butterfly

I have been looking for a tortoiseshell butterfly for years. I knew we were supposed to have them in this area, but had never run across one. On Sunday afternoon, I took a short walk to the edge of the woods to see if the maples there had started to turn. They haven’t by the way. This compton tortoiseshell rose out of the grass and landed in a tree just about eight feet up. I never did see the back of it, but am satisfied with the shot for below.

jewelweed

I found this beauty along a dark trail at the edge of the ocean.
You never know what you will findwhen you try a new path.
I am taking a couple weeks break from blogging.
See you when I get back.

bee balm

Every week or so, the garden takes on new colors. The bee balm I bought at Walmart is blooming now, and is much nicer than I expected it to be. I have two other colors, red and fuchsia, that I am not all that fond of. This new plant has two colors, and I love it!
