It has been a wonderful butterfly season. Our hard freeze tonight will finish off the flowers. Macro lens shot of a lovely Common Checkered Skipper butterfly on wild Henbit in our middle meadow; most likely my last butterfly photo taken this year. #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

The Macro lens certainly brings out the details of this female Orange Sulphur butterfly. She was enjoying the nectar of wild Henbit in our middle meadow. Happy #SundayYellow 💛 #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

Yes, there are a few butterflies still around. Orange Sulphur butterflies are the first butterflies to appear in late Winter and early Spring, while also being the last butterflies in Autumn. Happy to capture this beauty on dandelion with my macro lens.💛🧡 #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

Harvested hundreds of zinnia flowers before the freeze last Saturday. A tiny Skipper butterfly wanted to avoid the cold too. Do you see her? #SaturdayOrange 🧡 #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

Cut many roses before the freeze too. ‘Teasing Georgia’ English rose 💛 #Photography99 📷 #EnglishRoses 🌱

Zinnias galore.🩷💛🧡 Harvest your flowers for more flowers next year. #Photography99 📷🌱

Harvested hundreds of zinnia flowers before the freeze last Saturday. Lots of color in the house for the winter. Thousands of seeds for next year. Sampling here. #Photography99 📷🌱

Gorgeous golden Hickory leaves with maples and oaks in the background for #SaturdayOrange🧡 Peak Autumn colors after last Sunday’s light freeze. We’ll see what happens after tomorrow’s hard freeze as temperatures drop over 50°.🥶 #Photography99 📷 #AutumnLeaves 🌱

Homemade Chicken & Autumn Squash soup. Yummy Autumn soup. Labor of love. Made the chicken broth yesterday. Details in last photo. 📷❤️

Southern Dogface butterfly in beautiful lighting yesterday. We’ll see how much the light freeze last night affected our flowers. I did harvest hundreds of Zinnias but left many in case the freeze was light. Beautiful 70° week ahead. #SundayYellow 💛 #Butterflies 🦋 #Photography99 📷🌱

Super impressive to win two in Toronto to take the #WorldSeries Thank you, Toronto and LA, for a very entertaining series. 💙💙

I am not pulling for either team in the World Series. I am just happy that it has been a great series to watch. I am especially happy that it must be annoying as hell for Trump and GaGa MaGa since they hate LA and Canada. Haha!!! 😆😂🤣 #WorldSeries

I nominate the very tiny Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly as the official butterfly of BlueSky. The shape is practically a dead ringer for the logo. #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

Two years ago, we had a freeze on Halloween. Frost Flowers emerged (Crystallofolia phenomenon). This year our first freeze is likely tomorrow night. Happy Halloween. 📷🌱❄️

Happy Halloween from the Monarch 🧡🖤 Still seeing at least nine butterfly species in our garden and on our acreage today. Two Monarchs were about, including this stunner on an orange Zinnia, quite appropriate for Halloween. #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋 #Halloween

This was my last Swallowtail photo of the year. Female Black Swallowtail on October 16th. I just hadn’t gotten around to posting. Appropriate posting for #InsectThursday #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

What another great season of Slow Horses. Damn, no one can act like Gary Oldman. In my opinion, the greatest character actor of a generation, if not all time.

Because you need some beauty tonight. ‘Teasing Georgia’ 💛 #Photography99 📷 #EnglishRoses 🌱
