I'm still really busy with my summer work, but will try to catch up sometime.
I find great pleasure in watching insects as they move through my garden. "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."
John Lubbock
A suddent dust storm on this 5th of July in the evening. It began gently to become a true monster dust storm ...
Mesmerizing ...
This is the last one of this serie.
Bubbles are just a little puff of air trapped inside a thin film of soap and water. However their spherical shape and beautiful, swirling colors always make me stop and hold my breath.
“Photography, like any other art, is a form of communication. The artist is not blowing bubbles for his own gratification, but is speaking a language, is telling somebody something.”
— William Mortensen
PS - the temperature was 17°F this morning and the bubbles still didn't freeze.
The wind was gusting today and it was not too easy to get the plants to be still.
I love the shapes though...

Old one! I am so crazy busy that I am in the archives!
After a period of time, seeming like an eternity, I am home once again. The cliché, there's no place like home certainly seems appropriate to me at this time.
Although my backyard has become extremely overgrown and needs lots and lots of attention; There is no place I'd rather be. I shall tend to the details in time and enjoy every minute of it.
Yesterday I went out to tend to a few little things but was mesmerized by all of the sights and sounds. Therefore, I lost a lot of time just enjoying the butterflies and birds. There are so many fledglings out there right now, it's just amazing. The butterfly population is not quite the norm, but I can fix that. Needless to say, most of yesterday's tasks still await.
The one task I did complete was collecting bunches and bunches of monarch caterpillars and putting them in protective custody. Today I shall see if there are any other caterpillars or eggs to collect.
One of these days I am going to have to give the backyard a proper name. I name everything, yet when people ask what I call my backyard I answer "the backyard". LOL!
I do hope life has been treating you well. Happy snapping!

*Monarchs 7
*Queen 1
*Pipevine 3
*Goldrim 2
*Giants 2
*Palamedes 1
*Spicebush 1
*Zebra longwing 5
*Gulf Fritillary 1
*Sulfurs X (there were several but they were coming and going so quickly it was impossible to count.) In addition, I could not tell if they were cloudless or orange barred. I'd say both because that's the norm.
I was hoping to see a viceroy or a red-spotted purple because the willow tree has a lot of evidence that there have been caterpillars. No dice though and I didn't find a single caterpillar either.
I always love seeing tigers too but there were 0 yesterday.
If I stare at that long enough.......Sorry Jax, no Mexican hot chocolate, spiked with tequila, for you!
This spectacular entrance hall of the Grieder building in Zurich Switzerland, also called Peterhof, was built in 1913 as an office building for Credit Suisse by the architect brothers Pfisteris. Now it is a clothing store.

I could just drown in those dark eyes - such a great moment this day. Not least because of the closeness, but also the superb attitude.

How did it go for you? It sure started with a bang here. This whole month so far is all about thunders and fireworks here in Chitown. So before I had out to Detroit I wanted to share one frame from the event hosted by my dear friend @nz.bfphoto for the holiday weekend. It was crazy all over the town and we loved it. What do you think?
