Wouldn't it be wonderful to live half our year in the Northern Hemisphere, and half of the year in the Southern one? :))) Beautiful photos!

I don't know why but you all have such beautifully coloured butterflies and I think we haven't got any of those creatures!

Reader Wil said...

Well I'll try to have an open eye for butterflies in the future! And my camera at hand!

Dear Maria, You have caught the essence of summer. So very beautiful. The Thistles look like miniature Artichoke flowers. In Australia it is said, where Thistles grow the soil is rich! The butterflies get drunk on the nectar.Liebe Gruesse T.
My TDF is up on "Three Monkeys."

So fuzzy, so lovely. For now I am enjoying the foliage, but too soon I'll be posting old summer photos, too.

In September I was in panic that summer is gone. In October we got a real golden...month. And now it's November and soon all flowers are really gone. One more cold night and...So it's so heartwarming to look at your picture.

Those look like thistles. How can something so pretty be such a pest... at least around here. :)

Marina said...

I meant they ate everything and not helped!!! They left all the dirty work for me!!!
