I think this is a variety of Chrysanthemum.

and bokeh...

From the garden.

The colors are inviting you to get lost in a dreamy vision!

Even though it's another rainy day in VT.

Thank you friends for coming by.

I hope you all enjoy the end of this week.

These were picked from the family garden.

Varigated Haworthia subattenuata. Found in South Africa.

This is a new Fritillary for me, and I got only two shots of it on the Gaillardia before it flew off very quickly and disappeared into a wooded area.

According to "Alberta Butterflies", they are a migrant species with year round populations in the tropics and subtropics of the Americas. In Alberta, they are more commonly found in the southern prairie grasslands in summer than in central Alberta. I was lucky to get a shot at it.

I do tend to like the geometric grid pattern, must be the cubical space planner in me.

These guys do not venture uo the hill to my place often.

One from last month.

Hiding in the shadows

The only flowers abundant in my garden right now are the Cleomes and a few Black-eyed Susans. The rest are struggling in the early cold weather. I discovered Cleome a few years ago and found the tall, lacey plant gives an almost elegant look to the garden. They reseed themselves which makes it nice but they end up in places out of the garden proper. They are delicate and bloom in stages, I find, so it is difficult to get the entire flower blooming for a nice photo. I got lucky. This one is in full bloom all together at the same time. LOL!

Light on the path.

An older individual. Notice the back of his/her leg wing... Lots of damage there... Sad..

Don't get these venturing up the hill towards my place. The male was very shy.

I saw these Turkey-Tail mushrooms in Barn Wood, not far from my house about three weeks ago. A quick search on Google has just shown me that I could have sold them for quite a bit of money if I'd foraged them and advertised them as organic. But I'm glad I left them undisturbed for others to enjoy.

running under the sprinklers is a fun way to cool off during these hazy, hot and humid days of July... my plants love it!

Enjoy the new month!!

So beautiful!

I saw this turkey-tail fungus growing out of a fallen tree in barn wood, not far from my home. The fungus seems to be competing with the moss to suck nutrients out of the dead wood. But maybe there's some kind of cooperation going on.

HMT!!

This is a close up from my one of the roses my daughter gave me for my birthday.

A wild growing, varigated arum lily.

Garden color in the rain; new geraniums on my fence!
