Bird of Paradise

It has been a joy to watch the development of this colorful Bird of Paradise on the most dreary and foggie of Winter's days.

 

 

 

 

August Days

We finally got some much needed rain......so I went to the river and did a ballerina dance.

On the way back up the steps I noticed the brown leaves and really took heed of what all the heat this summer has caused..perhaps an early fall?  But as trees loose their leaves other critters are preparing for more.  Saw these Silk Moths at the preserve when I arrived for my volunteering at 9am.  They stayed like this until I left at 1pm. It was right about then that I learned they will die soon after seperating but not before the female lays her eggs..if she is lucky.  Still playing around working on FUNKY FLORALS, Kalides and Kalidaglobes.
