SNOOTER'S GUIDE TO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING

Hey, Hey, Hey.... Is it beer thirty yet? It is just so nice outside today. I went to hang out my clothes and this beautiful monarch butterfly flew all around me. Then, it landed on a leaf next to my clothes line. I have a grouping of flowers at the end of the line. It's one of those  four line jobs. Post on either side to hold up the clothes. Well, I planted a bunch of different flowers at one end. Sooooo, Pretty... anyway to make a long story short. I had my cellphone on my person. That being me. It has a camera in it. So, I snapped a few pictures of this lovely butterflly. He landed on the leaf next to a brilliant pink Zininia flower. He stayed for a while . He or she just kept opening and closing it' beautiful wings. I must of looked like a nut. I stopped taking pictures of the butterfly and said to it. Now you stay right there. I will be right back. I ran to my back door and up the stairs of the basement to the kitchen. I grabbed my ditial camera and ran back to the yard. There it was just as I had left it. I was so delighted. I took a lot of shots of the butterfly. I just love butterflys. I have two tattos of them. I want more, more, more. They are just so graceful and beautiful. Something I am not. Graceful. I fall up the stairs not down. I bang into just about every thing that's in my path. Graceful I am not. Now, Beautiful, ahhhhh....My husband thinks so and my daughter. My dog I guess don't know anybetter. As for my thoughts...I am one uglly duckling...

Anyway, this butterfly just stayed there opening and closing it's wings as if to dry them. Then a gust of wind came and up it flew. I followed it around the yard. It stopped on a tree and just hung out a little longer. It was so great. Then a ladybug landed on the flower next to the leaf the butterfly was.

My husband sent me a picture of a praying mantis he saved that was in the hospital he was transporting a patient. I like them also. He told me it must of came in on someone and he saved it. He first took a picture of it and sent it to me. It looked as if it posed for the shot. He let it go outside the hospital. Wow...excitement on the bug front today...LOL

I will download the pictures and put some on so you too can see my little butterfly friend. It may take me a little bit. I need to download so many pictures. I love to take pictures of nature. I always take them of my gardens and the sky.

                                 BUTTERFLY

butterfly, butterfly fly my way

I would like to talk to you some day.

You float on the wind and glide so smooth

Your wings are strong yet so soft.

The colors you bring to our flower gardens are splendid

Your grace is beyond compare.

Oh, how I love the butterfly.

Days when I was a child come streaming back.

I would chase them and dance in the field.

The wonder of a butterfly is ever there.

Thank you for gracing my presence today....

I told you I would all of a sudden burst into a poem or something. I just love nature. It has been my friend since I was a child. My childhood was a very bad one. My mom told my I was a mistake and that my dad tricked her and I came along. She always hated me and told me so. My only friends was the things in nature. I found peace in the wind, sky, clouds and yes, even the bugs. My other faviote bug. Is fireflys. I would catch them in ajar and dance and sing to them as they lite up the night time blues. I would let them go and always say be free and light up someone elses night.

Well, thanks for stopping by. Come back and sit an read a spell. Comment if you wish. I remain Snooter
