I hit the jackpot when I went outside a little while ago to take some pictures of butterflies. While I was getting the tiger swallowtail butterfly pictures, I kept hearing a funny little noise. Well, that noise came from two hummingbirds. So I managed to stalk them a bit and actually came away with a pretty good picture or two...about the best that I have ever gotten of a hummingbird in flight. I put in the second picture of the hummingbird because you can see its little beak so well getting nectar from the wee, tiny flower on the butterfly bush flower cluster. I was also pleased at getting some good butterfly pictures. Tonight the two butterflies just seemed to be floating through the air around the flowers. I had gotten the pictures of the hummingbirds and was heading back inside because I was being eaten up so badly by mosquitoes, but looked back and saw the sun hitting the butterfly just right. I could see right through its wings and see the flowers behind its wings. Really shows how delicate butterflies are. Another jackpot for my day is that I actually found some time to sew this morning. Then I headed out to meet friends for lunch...that definitely put gold in my jackpot! We had such a good time talking, catching up with each other, and doing a lot of laughing! After I got home I sewed for a little while longer till I just knew that it was time to go rest and read for a while. I actually stayed awake. Woody got up this morning and walked six miles. He has stayed in and stayed cool the rest of the day...reading, working on the computer, etc.
