Welcome autumn!

this is why my camera is always ready to go...

There isn't much that would motivate me to go outside this afternoon. Apparently, a butterfly will do it. Isn't she lovely?







I wanted to fool around with exposures a little bit on this one. She really doesn't care that I am around. The pink lantana is a volunteer. So glad it decided to grow here. The butterflies love it.




















This one may be my favorite, just because I was able to manuever myself to get the background I wanted.

thanks so much for stopping by the cape on the corner, and for your comment on my eggplant growth! the critters aren't bothering these, but i think some of my bulbs are being dug up. ugh!
