On need not travel far to see the wonders of nature. I find them all around me, as Summer comes to an end and Fall begins. Butterflies and bees are still enjoying what is left of my flowers. Wildflowers that were blooming a few days ago are now just seed heads. My Zinnias have stretched all the way over my head to over eight feet and are still putting out blooms. They like we are not giving up.
Nature’s beauty shines
All around flowers still bloom
Butterflies’ delight
And your Zinnia’s are keeping good social distancing! 🤣.
So beuatiful Dwight! What camera do you use?! ❤️ Cindy
