“Bees…feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.” ~Ray Bradbury
Honeysuckle and Trumpet Vines
The smell of honeysuckle is in the air!
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
“Ask a toad what beauty is, the supreme beauty, the to kalon. He will tell you it is his lady toad with her two big round eyes coming out of her little head, her large flat snout, yellow belly, brown back.” ~Voltaire
Mourning Dove
Mourning doves sitting in the pine trees behind our house. I like to hear the sorrowful cooing, which is both sad and comforting.
Garter Snake
This snake recently found its way into our yard. Our dogs were pretty inhospitable towards it, and eventually, it slithered away. I love my dogs.
Watching the Sunset Together

Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty
if only we have the eyes to see them. ~John Ruskin
