Just a very very quick pic to show you part of the gorgeous summer dining set from scarlet creative, featured in May's Luxebox, comes completely decorated and it is just divine, I cant wait to show you it in full!

This is how most of Castro street in Mountain View, look right now. There are quite a few restaurants, with street dining. There is a lone man, at a far table.

Sunrise and low tide at the lagoon. Waterside alfresco dining on some of the freshest seafood, in the deep south of Thailand. A personal favourite is horseshoe crab with spicy papaya salad, served in the shell.

Dining near the caldera with these sea views are relaxing and layed-back. This was captured in the village of Oia.

We had our dining table set outside for the garage sale, so it was time to do a selfy! Myta took this shot.

This big rock provided a nice place to sit and eat our lunch during a hike in Golden Canyon, DVNP.

I wasn't planning on dining on Dungeness crab, but when I headed to the grocery store and saw the crab on sale I couldn't resist (American decadence gone wild). Luckily I found a vintage embroidered cloth to put it on. Don't let this elegant photo fool you though. Eating whole crab is a very messy affair. Once I was done I had to change my shirt. And I did not actually eat it over this nice cloth.

Peace Valley Park

Doylestown, PA

snug harbor

Tiny red milkweed beetle dining on a common milkweed leaf. Double click on photo to see the tiny hairs in its face. Usually see the large milkweed beetles so this one was a nice surprise.

One site I found said they have no need to camouflage from predators since they are toxic from eating the milkweed leaves. It also said they sometimes make a faint purring sound when eating or crawling on the milkweed and can make a shrill squeaking sound if in distress.

Sorry for another large group of photos, last ones from a second trip to the Pollinator Prairie. Still no butterflies when there, hope to make it back.

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND FAVES!

At the old Palace Hotel in Cripple Creek

“And, they told me

To look out for big old bears

Who wandered the woods

They told me

You were trouble

Why, how wrong they be

I think you’re quite lovely

So, I shall stay for a while

If you don’t mind

Stay a while indeed”

At the last moment local authorities decided to keep the ban on indoor restaurant dining in place. Many restaurants continued to set uo tables for outdoor service. I guess in these times a half a loaf seems better than none

Thanksgiving day in my 1:12 dollhouse dining room

Two beautiful Red Admiral butterflies feeding on this butterfly bush. A rare sunny moment, we've had a lot of rain in the last couple of days.
