quiet moments in nature
brown leaves
sparkling with frost
a robin calls
his song becomes the star
my compass for the day

Cee’s Flower of the Day
Your Daily Word Prompt: Sporadic
In case you missed them, Karina shared two beautiful photographs of a Common Blue butterfly in Ireland and Dwight shared images of some wonderful flowers, bees and a variety of butterflies in North Carolina.
It is lovely to see that they, like us here in the Highlands, are seeing more butterflies this year than last year. You can see more images from the butterflies in our garden here.
