(not so) Speechless Sunday...
Although the colors are draining from the flowers in the garden, there is still a lot of activity from the flying flowers as they zip from the array of late blooming flowers in my garden. Yesterday afternoon, there must have been over 50 of these miniature inch long butterflies enjoying the last hoorays of Summer...

Have a Great relaxing Sunday, Y'all... ;-)

Helping YOU Live YOUR American Dream...

Your garden must be absolutely gorgeous! Michael, you outdid yourself. This photo is breathtaking.
Is that a zinnia?
Again, a beautiful garden photo. The butterflies are definitely lucky to have your gorgeous garden! Have a good Sunday!
Kris, Thanks. It does take some work but the rewards are great...
Janice, yes, that is a zinnia...
Ok its almost time to get some mums and plant some bulbs for next year. I love this cool time of the year to play in my yard. Off I go!
Dick and Dixie, Thanks...
Laura, I'll start working on the bulbs early next month. I have to put netting down over them to keep the squirrels and deer from getting to them...
Thanks for sharing. As the leaves change color, the pictures of fall will be a good substitute for the flowers of the summer.
Michael, amazing picture. so gentle & pretty. Enjoy your Sunday.
Michael - This is a great shot, with the dark background behind the subject it really stands out!
VB ;o)
That is such a great picture and I can't believe you got the butterfly on the flower!
I like the EYES. The little creature seems to be looking at you and asking, "What are you doing? You can't take my picture". Thanks for sharing this with us, Michael.
MIchael, yup...I have seen alot of butterflies, bees, etc enjoying my wilting flowers too! Stay summer stay!
Michael, Your garden must be amazing. My mom was an avid flower gardener and her gardens were gorgeous. However, I didn't inherit her abilities. My Dad grew vegetables, now that I can do!! Thanks for sharing.
Michael..Great Photo! Relax I will and please do the same..The beautiful colors of fall will be coming soon and the colors of summer will be fading..Thanks
HELPFULHANNAH your friend in Philadelphia
I have a condo listed that has a ton of Hummingbirds around it and I don't have a camera fast enough to capture them.
Michael,
What a great photo! Color, composition and theme all work together very well.
