Sunday Safari


The Zebra Swallowtails


are gracing the gardens.


I do hope the female



finds the Paw-paw.


We planted the bushes for her.



The Silver Spots shimmer
in the butterfly bushes.

We are still considering
what we will do with the gardens.


It is so hot and humid
I cannot be outside for
very long.


July and August can be very difficult months.


My friend wishes she could fold up her garden
in the summer and bring it out again in the Autumn.
Me too.



I am called to be inside


and rest from the heat.

I am filling my art box


and creating.


The care of the Earth is my primary concern.


I love making my choices
thinking of how they will effect
those that come after me.

Looking ahead 200 years would be amazing.


I am wanting to live with zero waste.



We are going through each room.


We are re-using what we can and
re-cycling every thing else.


We are becoming more aware.
We are buying different.
We are making a difference.


We are making beautiful


with junk mail envelopes.

We are planning ahead.


We are planning for the next generation.


We are enjoying the day.


We are enjoying birds,
 bugs and books.


We are staying cool.



Happy Sunday Safari.

Sunday Safari

It is the New Tiger Moon.

We have been out in the gardens.

We have been picking tomatoes, zucchini

and making plans.



We are redefining our space.

We are bringing harmony
to every aspect of our living.

We are reading.

We are talking.


We are letting go of what we no longer need.

We are embracing new ideas.
We are using what is already in our house.


We want to live in balance with nature.




We want to live one with the birds.


A thundershower this morning
left us with over 2 inches of rain.


It is hot and humid.
I have wet lands right in my backyard.
Happy Sunday Safari.

Swans


The Trumpeter Swans
in Yellowstone are elegant.

I am so happy they are protected.




We drove west to Portland, Oregon;




The City of Roses.

I am posting photographs
of my trip on
"Q on Holiday"

Sunday Safari



A baby Robin
was on the ground.

Mom was up in the Maple tree


keeping watch.



Each day there are stories in the garden.



When I am aware 
I see the relationships


between the flora and the fauna.



 I celebrate the flora
and fauna in my backyard.
I am grateful for their stories.

Happy July 4th.
