On The Goldenrod

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment. We can start now, start slowly, changing the world. How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make a contribution toward introducing justice straightaway. And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!

—Anne Frank

Fritillary Flies Over the Field

If you are a regular here - you know that I am ALWAYS trying to get "flight" shots.  

Butterflies, Birds, Bugs - just about anything with wings that I can capture with my camera.  This is Fritillary butterfly flying over a field of wildflowers - a Variegated Fritillary (I think) 

This totally shows what my summer is all about!

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

 ― Robert F. Kennedy
