Butterflies and Moths

 

Recently I have been seeing

some beautiful

Tiger Swallowtails

enjoying our hydrangea tree.

 

A few weeks ago I saw a couple of

Luna Moths.

When we first moved here 47 years ago,

we had a lot of these moths,

plus many other really big ones

that flapped against our windows at nights.

Now we don't see them very often.

 

 

 
 

A couple of weeks ago,

we visited the Butterfly gardens

at Chesterfield, MO.

 

The butterflies there were more exotic,

and I don't know their names.

 

This one was enjoying himself

outside of the Butterfly House

in the Butterfly Garden.

 

They are always a delight to see,

and another example of the beauty

in God's creation.

 



One Year Later -- New Head Gear

Last year in September.

I posted a blog about three young deer

that visited our yard in the afternoons.

 

 

Well, they are back.

While last year all we saw were the spots on their backs,

we now know, there are two bucks and one doe.

 

 

The doe poses beautifully, as she did a year ago,

and has such a sweet face and large beautiful ears.

(The two guys seem to have made her their "lookout.")

 

 

The lighting was not the greatest yesterday,

so none of my pictures of the two bucks

turned out very well.

But here are a couple of pictures of each one

with their lovely sister

showing off their new head gear.

 

 

Wishing you a beautiful day

filled with good surprises!
