Description
The pale yellow tail monarch is the first butterfly I have seen this summer.
I spotted it last week and since then I have captured 3 or 4 other species and will post them later.
I was going to do a bug but the butterfly excited me so much, I had to post it.
I am doing so, so.
I can't tolerate this heat and humidity I get so sick when I go outside and literally get nauseated and have to go to the bathroom to visit the porcelian throne.
The heat is no fun and those little flash thunderstorms just bring on the humidity that much more.
Was supposed to have chemo last Friday, but hubby's brother had surgery and was not doing well at all so he drove to see him
Have just not been feeling well at all the past week or so and I know it's the heat, so If I fail to leave a comment every now and then, please forgive me and I will catch up as best as I can.
I hope this finds everyone doing okay and I hope all of you have a safe, healthy and happy 4th of July.
All post work done in PSP9
I added frame and border. Tried one step touch up.
Color and brightness adjusted along with hue and saturation.
Thank you all for all of your IMs and asking about me.
I am okay other than the heat and the humidity.
I love all of you all.
Any and all comments most appreciated.
Hugs
Susan~
