Monarch Butterfly
Took this shot of the Monarch Butterfly at the Upper Perk YMCA Flower Garden.
I've been going to this flower garden for the past few years now. The garden club does a wonderful job planting flowers that attract a lot of butterflies, especially one of my favorites, the Monarch!!

Tulips originated in Asia and were brought to Europe during the 16th century. By the 17th century Holland was experiencing a Golden Age. There was a lot of demand for luxury items such as tulips, by the newly rich. The bi-color tulips were rare enough to command high prices and demand soon outstripped supply. Prices escalated tempting even tradesmen to give up their professions and trade in tulip bulbs. 312
Very likely we will get frost where I live in less than a month and the flowers will be gone until next year. Yakima County, Washington. IMG_4047
One of our highlights during our visits to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, is always walking around this cottage with its many flowers. In some instances the flowers can be seen to be overflowing the short walls along the sidewalk. Though taken on October 15, the leaves have yet to change color around the cottage. [FA]
This particular structure is from the Cotswold Hills in southeast England. The Fords were attracted to the distinctive character of Cotswold buildings, which are characterized by the yellow-brown stone, tall gables, steeply pitched roofs, and stone ornamentation around windows and doors. Several decorative additions were made to this house in England, before dismantling and re-erecting it in Greenfield Village. When I photographed this cottage years ago (shown at this link: www.flickr.com/photos/bobcarter/5991430846/in/album-72157... , there was a huge tree in the left foreground and ivy covered the left portion of the structure.
This particular park offers a beautiful flower garden to stroll through and is a place that I always enjoy visiting. HSS!

The main residence at Empire Mine was originally owned and occupied by William Bourn and his family. Bourn was responsible for turning the mine into a money making machine. He and his family considered this home as their summer residence, thus the name cottage. I guess that makes sense as the size of the "cottage" is only mere 4,600 sq. ft. and is surrounded by 13 acres of gardens. I imagine they felt a little cramped for space while reposing here during the summer months.

After losing some sleep because of the time change, I needed something to wake me up. So I took the park's garden to Topaz Studio 2 where I added an abstract filter, plus I increased the vibrancy and saturation of the colours. Let's hear it for Sliders Sunday! HSS!
