W^2 or W squared for Wordless Wednesday, July 30, 2025

My wife replanted the garden along the path from the driveway to the cottage this summer and the butterfly bushes are already receiving visitors. Spotted this monarch enjoy a nibble this past Saturday evening.
My late mother-in-law loved monarchs. Every time I see one, I think of her and think she’s visiting and checking on us.
Today is going to be a great day, especially when there is someone watching over me. Today could be a million and six times better than yesterday, but I am going to take it as it comes. Making the Days Count, one day at a time, looking around and paying attention to nature’s beauty – sometimes it’s a sign.
What’s a ‘sign’ or symbol for you?
I love this image, beautifully captured!
Thank you Amy.
Wow – that’s stunning, Clay!
thank you Wynne!
What a wonderfully crisp photo.
Yes, thank you. I saw the Monarch and pulled my phone out and she took off. I waited patiently while she flittered around before landing and batting her wings open and closed. it too several shots to get the one I used.
Patience paid off.
That’s just a beautiful image. So perfect! I haven’t seen any yet this summer.
Thank you – right place and right time, the secret to life well lived. I told my wife and she was excited. I checked with our daughter yesterday and she said she’d see butterflies in the garden, too. Can’t to see what’s inshore when I get back.
