Finally, An actual Blue Monday Post.
I saved this photo from our last trip to Longwood Gardens
to share on Blue Monday.
I thought this dragonfly
was very cool.
Mikey was just sure that if he touched
it we would see it fly off.
But, he was wrong.
It just sat there posing.
Sunday was
a quiet day at home
after church. We were joined by
our Moms, Pastor Mike
and one of Chelsea's friends.
I grabbed the camera
and headed out to
Georgia's butterfly bush.
The butterfly that captured
my attention just happened to have
blue splashes on its wings.
So, this made me happy because I
have been having a very hard time
finding things of blue lately.
What beauty can be found when I just take the time to look.
Have a wonderful day!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Becky!
I am really being drawn in by the short stories! I'm waiting for the next installment!
I did some catching up on your blog... Random thoughts, photos, family news... I feel like I got a good dose of Becky!
As soon as we recover from some of the slow summer finances, I would like to pick up some fall candles! I so enjoyed what I purchased before!
Smiles, KJ
Oh, they are both so beautiful... beautiful blue treasures! That's amazing that you were able to get so close to the dragonfly! Wonderful pictures!
Cool photos!
My Blue Monday.
Ah, what a wonderful way to start my Monday! Blue jays are my favorite bird, that dragonfly looked HUGE - but a beauty, and I have an affinity for fluttery butterflies. Thank you for these pics, Becky! Blessings to you, for a great Monday!
MAGIC, Becky... these moments are pure magic! :o) Happy Week ((HUGS))

I tried to get a shot of a dragonfly once, but he was too fast for me. Yours is a super shot of this one. I truly enjoyed seeing those lovely butterflies. I wish I had more of them around here.
You've become quite an adept photographer, Becky.
Happy Blue Monday! Check out my book giveaway.
Becky, your photos are wonderful. The dragon fly is amazing and the butterfly is beautiful. They are perfect for Blue Monday. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

It was quiet here too. Lots of rest and time together. Bliss!
Our butterfly bushes have been full of butterflies this summer!
Oh, Becky, what a fabulous pic of the dragonfly ... I'd love to capture one like this. I did get some of the same butterfly as yours, aren't they just beautiful.

Beautiful blue dragonfly! I loved catching dragonflies when I was a kid :-)
Those are lovely butterflies. I photographed almost similar to these ones in my garden this afternoon. Loved that wide-spread wings. Great captures.
Hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for stopping by my garden.
Beautiful Blue Monday Dear Becky! Happy week to you!!
