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. ;)

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet!

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
