On The Deck Watching Butterflies & Westies

 Julep & Derby's new assigned spot on the deck.
This is prime turtle watching territory.

I secretly wish that turtle would find another home.
You would think every time the westies see
the turtle they act like it's the first time.
 We are graced with a few butterflies in our garden.
My guess is they're preparing for the journey
to their winter resting spot.

 My dad started these Zinnia plants [from seed] this spring.
It was my lucky day when he gave me a few of his plants.
 Not only do I love Zinnia's but so do the gold Finch.

 A splash of orange neon to the Monarch butterfly photo.

    Isn't this a beautiful time of year, with flowers matured and butterflies everywhere! My gardens are also full of butterflies.
