Aging beautifully
November 2, 2020
I altered this post for Friendly Friday Photo Challenge / Two ways.
Here are two roses from the same bush. One is newly blooming and the other is almost done. Both are quite beautiful in their own way.
Interesting way to present an idea…
Colorful garden visitor

For Bernhard’s Colorful Challenge BUNT
I like to take pictures of birds. I put a bird feeder in my front yard. It’s below left. Look what it attracted. This bird is a special visitor. I made it from fabric. Here it is looking at my roses.
Below is a more detailed look at the bird. The roses are real. The bird is literally, stuffed and colorfully painted.

Australian Admiral Butterfly
October 20, 2020
This is a Yellow Admiral Butterfly (Vanessa itea). Also known as Australian Admiral Butterfly. South Eastern Australia. Apparently it really like stinging nettles and I have plenty of them, popping up in my garden and growing profusely between the paddocks of lucerne. It is not an uncommon butterfly.
Knowing nothing about butterflies, I was a little perplexed because I couldn’t see how this could be a ‘yellow’ admiral butterfly. I couldn’t see any yellow at all. They mystery was solved by a visit to the ‘net. What you see here is the underside of the wing. The butterfly looks totally different when its wings are down. Click here to see.
Isn’t nature wonderful?
