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!

HBW!

This is not the clearest picture I've ever taken, but.....oh well....

Restaurant inside of the Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, Arkansas

The sidewalk cafes, restaurants and bars come alive at night in Madrid.

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.

Look closely...masked and socially distanced...

In Castelmola, with fabulous views.

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.

Reflecting on a fine day on the town with dinner at the Spaghetti Factory in Bricktown - OKC Metro

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!

Mr. Bluebird returns to the nest with another meal for Junior. The fledgling was well fed and he grew fast. Occasionally he would be visible in the nest. Thanks again for visiting. I appreciate it.

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”

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.

or succulent dining!

And a place to study between classes.

we had a family crab-feast last night for my cousin's belated birthday, and of course my photography instincts kicked in. i thought this was a nice representation of the evening...unfortunately, this little guy didnt have as good of a night as we did!

Tonight we dine at the Scuna Taverna, another beautiful Taverna over the water of Skiathos Harbour with wonderful food. Here I'm having cuttlefish, while Niqui has Squid, accompanied by a tomato salad.
