Butterflies and Other Lovely Gifts


 August has brought us butterflies and other lovely gifts.

I spotted this Monarch on today's afternoon walk .  Are not these purple thistles a pretty lavender color?





The black Swallowtail was gathering his nourishment from the clover as we traveled by.







These lilies must have offered the perfect spot to attract another visitor to stop and enjoy a drink.





Our peach tree is full this month and gifting us with the sweetest of fruits.  

Iron Weed and Golden Rod make such a complimentary duo.  They are two wildflowers that grow together in August's meadow.





Speaking of twosomes - Schindler and Shelby are generally close by.  Today's walk was no exception.

Thank you for letting me share some of this day's lovely gifts.

Hope everyone has a delightful week.

Hugs
Debbie

Sabbath

 For the next couple of weeks I will be taking a wee bit of a blogging Sabbath.   The charms of the garden are calling me... Some new pastel...
