Enjoy the day and rest of the weekend...
I will take this time to apologize for the lack of commenting.... this is such a busy time of the season with me taking care of so many Monarch caterpillars.... I think they must have an internal clock that is ticking because everything they are doing is much faster... that includes eating and pooping!! The Monarchs I will be releasing and tagging will live for 8-9 months and take the long flight down to Mexico....
unlike the ones that we see earlier in the summer that only live 2-6 weeks.
To date, I have released 326 with 44 in chrysalis and a ton of caterpillars and tiny hatchlings... and eggs I haven't counted!!
This is Ruby. One of the pair I have been following for some time now. Ruby is a bit cautious around this time, probably pregnant.

...or reach for the bokeh balls ;-) Luckily there are still a few flowers in our garden which are not faded like this cosmos. Even though I really like my Cyclop, I've used my Helios 44-2 for this picture. I hope you like it! Have a great weekend my friends!
Frosty morning and blindingly bright on this new little rhododendron plant.
Thanks for looking.

Yet another shot from my creek bank session. Here, I really like the light and the bokeh, where the grass produced a bokeh that seems to add some movement to the background. I hope you like it too!

On my way to a shooting location after a couple of days of heavy rain, I spotted this cow by in the river. It was difficult to focus with all the branches, very lucky to have got this shot with its tongue sticking out.

You are taking one courageous step after another down the healing road. While these are healthy steps, it’s intensely challenging to face the unknown and experiences so terrorizing that your mind wisely blocked them out for the sake of your survival. This is too much to handle alone and it’s important to remember that God’s presence surrounds you in each moment and you have the gift of your small though incredibly mighty group of supporters. Things are unclear, difficult, scary, require a tremendous amount of perseverance, and when you reflect on the past the healing process is evident, encouraging and certainly worth the effort it requires.

Recently I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.
