Stitches in Time

Summer Days........moving in time.......Fall is on the way..........


My little man (Lucian) and I decided to enjoy the back yard one day while little miss Kenzie was napping.......

Can I play in the sandbox mommy?  Of course you can baby, mommy is finishing some downloads and I will be right out! 

I have been practicing my old ways of photography like I first learned with my mothers 35mm Pentax ~ Manual
Love the way technology has changed since then and how my Cannon shows me instant results!! So anyways....I just realized that this is the way I will shoot when possible because of the raw beauty.........

The Monarch Queen.....Isn't she BEAUTIFUL....
I know she is a Monarch and not a Viceroy or an Admiral, OR a Male.....If I am wrong please let me know!! But anyways, I learned a few amazing facts about this Beautiful little insect....who was just passing Time in my garden........
~Poisonous to predators
~She is a 3rd Generation Butterfly!!!

~Butterflies go through four generations in one year... 

~The first 3 generations live 2 to 6 weeks then die

~The 4th generation is born in September and October and will migrate to warmer climates and live 6-8 months....

~Then cycle will start all over~

Monarch Facts


What an amazing little creature and how life goes in cycles and carry's on....My little boy is growing so fast as well and his innocence and beauty amazes me daily!!
