Headed For A Fall With Cooler Nights

 With temperatures just a tad lower, the butterflies have shown up.

I don't think they liked the extreme hot June and July any more than we humans did.

 But they came back, just in time to enjoy the last blooms of the butterfly bushes.

They were loaded with blooms earlier, but the butterflies just said, "nope".

 Butterflies can be tricky to photograph since they tend to close their wings the second you are ready to snap the pic, and open them when you are not ready.  

So sneaky.  But I do my best to get a shot or two of them open-winged.

 I did get some great video clips of them, but Youtube no longer likes my software, and until I get a new iMac I don't intend to upgrade the software just for the sake of Youtube videos.

 It's nearly time to say goodbye to my gorgeous butterfly bushes until next year.

I hope I can wait that long for it's beauty to reappear once again!

 July is here and we are getting cooler nights already with a bit of rain forecasted for tomorrow.

Send in the rain!

Send in Autumn!

Won't Worry Our Little Heads

 The first week of August has already passed us by,

 and already the days are shorter and the nights are longer....

and it no longer stays light until after nine at night.

 It's nothing to worry our sweet little heads about.

 It just means that we are one week closer to October.

A change in the look of the light, and we all breathe a bit easier knowing that the cooler days are near.

Another cloudy/rainy day and my soul feels relief from the torturous heat of summertime.
