July 26 - Flower Friday...One Day Late. I love Lisianthus, they begin white and gain color as they bloom.
July 25 - A Successful Launch...This is one of the butterflies we have been able to track from caterpillar on our milkweed, to pupa (we actually watched this one shed it's caterpillar skin and form a chrysalis), the stages of the chrysalis, and today a beautiful Monarch Butterfly. Though it emerged from the chrysalis while we were at the store, it hung around on the same milkweed plant so we could watch it's maiden flight. Still one chrysalis to go, plus a new batch of baby caterpillars on the milkweed. I'm a happy camper!
July 24 - Some of my friends have been experimenting photographing flowers in ice, so I decided to give it a try. This was my first attempt and as usual I learn what doesn't work before I learn what does. Not quite sure what I think of the result...but I will definitely be trying this again.
