Summer Garden

There is a blizzard in the forecast.  The current conditions of wind and snow are reinforcing that prediction this morning.  It seems like an appropriate time to gaze back to a more favorable season.  That would be summer.

A long line of orange cosmos plants in our garden attracted a lot of insects including several varieties of butterflys.  The uncommonly beautiful Common Buckeyes were in attendance.  They are the ones with "eyes" on their wings.  Insects do not hold their pose very long. but with lots of exposures you can usually get some decent images.
