Take Notice Thursday - SPSH Single & Pretty
In
an effort to notice more of the ordinary in my life, I have decided to share what I have
noticed this week in Take Notice Thursday.
The idea is to take photos
that are linked some how; by theme, by
colour, by date, by moment, by points of view. There is no formal link
in but please feel free to join in.

This beauty is too close to the road for my comfort, I worry that not all drivers will drive cautiously in case she or her family & friends jump out. She's so pretty in her summer colours.
But my entry for SPSH is this beauty. A lady at church gave me the chrysalis in a jar this past Sunday; it was black which meant it was hours away from becoming a butterfly & sure enough, it broke out & was a beautiful Monarch Butterfly - it stayed in our garden for about 3 hours before it felt strong enough to fly off.

Stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. The butterfly is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen, I am feeling quite pleased with this one.
DeleteOh wow. Absolutely stunning, that really fits the bill perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. I've now just 1 photo to get & I want to improve upon 2 others ... Sept 30 is rushing up quite fast.
DeleteMonarchs are such delights to see. We see similar butterflies, but those days of shrubs covered with them are gone around here :( Such a good photo!
ReplyDeleteWe are seeing fewer & fewer butterflies; there use to be an abundance of the Yellow Swallowtail & Monarchs, alas environmental changes :(
DeleteLovely pic of the butterfly! Only ever seen a monarch on one of Karen's cards!
ReplyDeleteThanks, we use to get lots of Monarchs but they have had significant decline over the years. This is one reason that the lady at church raises them in a controlled environment.
DeleteThe benefits of living in a rural location. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteAh yes I do feel lucky to live in a little village but still close to some mid-size cities.
DeleteBeautiful! Isn't it amazing how we can go through life with blinders on and miss out on so much. Thank you for sharing what you took notice of with all of us.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed. Life moves way to fast without us not participating ...
DeleteWhat a lovely collection of images, particularly the final one!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth.
