"Blue Morpho Butterfly on White Birch Bark" by Patti Deters. The bright blue of this Morpho peleides butterfly wings shows up nicely against the creamy white bark of the birch tree. These are the same butterflies you can see in most butterfly gardens - they are one of the larger specimens and so very pretty! Please enjoy more of my (insect, wildlife, digital art, and more) images at http://patti-deters.pixels.com.

Summer Green Grapes



Squirrels at Cocktail Hour

I'll choose these two - because they are related - and because they are tow of my favorite images this year. To find how they are related you can read the stories (descriptions) on the image pages.

As it was my big birthday Saturday 23rd, my 60th , this image is appropriate to me reminds me of the wonderful weekend I had.



And another beautiful vase of flowers.

"Heavenly Swan Flight" by Patti Deters. A pair of Trumpeter Swans fly through a lovely bright blue sky. A fun star and light texture overlay adds a calm and dreamy quality to these two beautiful white waterfowl birds. If you like this image, I invite you to please share or see my main image gallery (avian, wildlife, and more) at patti-deters.pixels.com

Wonderful images everyone thank you for sharing.

THE MORNING THAT NEVER WAS

I long for the morning
that never was. In my mind
I go there often and replay the events
before today. Everything was
Simpler, perfect
In the morning that never was.
Fractured
parts of my heart fight
to hold onto the mirage: I was happy
in the morning that never was.
“Magical Tranquility awaits us
in the morning that never was,”
They say, “Look away!
Look away!
Come to where tangerine clouds frolic
through pink skies, the sun never sets
on the morning that never was.
All is merry and bright,
euphoria for the wishful heart.
Nothing to see here. Whisk us away
to the morning that never was.
Life is what story we believe
Let us stay here and dream of
the morning that never was.”
But how can we stay?
And what awaits us there?
Nothing,
Ever after
in the morning that never was.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful images and others.

"I'll follow the Son: On the way to church one morning, I noticed I was in time to see the sun rising... so I took this more scenic route in order to capture it on camera... I wish I had had a clear shot when the sun was even more glorious-looking!... This is a zoomed in version, cropped around the trees like that. I might do something extra creative/ artistic with it later, too, we'll see! :D I don't believe in copying other peoples' photos to sell them -- I took this photo myself."

CHAD is a very 'special' member, whose work sits quietly and deserves visits, encouragement ......
