Nature Photo of the Day #221: Monarch Butterfly

This beautiful Monarch was fluttering about in the tall grassy field. He was all about the thistles.  His wings were opening and shutting to display his beautiful markings. After he was done with the thistle, he moved on.

Nature Photo of the Day #220: Hibiscus

The Hibiscus flowers are so big!! Love how they fill up a space in the greenery. The white petals really stand out with the yellow stamina. Beautiful!!

Nature Photo of the Day # 219: Sunning Turtle

Fun to see the turtles sunning on a log. So still and peaceful. Was very comfortable on the log and not going anywhere.

Nature Photo of the Day #218: Robin's Nest

A beautiful robin's nest. so much potential in this little home. Life to grow. Shelter for protection. A place to call home. Such detail in the making of the nest. True nest making skills here!

Nature Photo of the Day # 217: Hummingbird

Relaxing by the flowers, a hummingbird started to attack the flowers. Going from flower to flower. Flapping his wings really fast and moving strategically to the flowers. Was a pleasure to watch his evening routine.

Nature Photo of the Day #216: Blue Heron

Spotted this Blue Heron on my journeys today. Just calmly enjoying his day by the pond. Not much activity. Love how his reflection is on the calm water. So peaceful.

Natural Focus Photography #215: Clouds

It is relaxing to lay on the sand and watch the clouds go by. Some look so fluffy. While others look a little threatening to rain on you. Fun to watch and to find shapes. Clouds are fun!
