Pollinator Garden Photo: Wounded Wings in Milton

Wounded Butterfly Photo by Aquariann
Has it really been almost a year and a half since I last blogged here? Times flies, whether you're having fun or not!

Don't get me wrong, I have had a lot of fun in my absence. But, just like this beautiful butterfly I met in the Pollinator Preserve in historic Milton, my wings were wounded and it took me awhile to fly again. Or perhaps flutter is a better word. I still hover low enough to occasionally crash into things.

In any case, my monthly goal is to upload a new flower photo to my Fine Art America gallery and blog about it here for Flower Friday. Happy New Year!

    Yay to the survivor! Always love to see butterflies with torn wings. They tell a story of victory over evil. Hope the new year brings joy and better health to you.
    PS: Many thanks for the feature. I am delighted!

    Everybody has a story, even if you can't see it on the outside. I'm glad you're back and hope things get better and better for you, even if you have a wonky wing like your butterfly :)

    Kristin,

    What vibrant color for winter! It'll be away before we see blooming flowers or butterflies again but I do, it'll be a welcome sight! Thanks for visiting yesterday, my dear. I hope the new year is treating you well. ;)

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
