This is the Day the Lord Has Made

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.  
--Psalm 118:24


The columbis, or the clematibine 

The flapper. Shutter too slow, or cameraman's reflexes too slow?
The latter, I think.

That is a gorgeous flower, and the butterfly came through beautifully...(I know to click on the photos to see them larger...). Lovely Sunday here too.

Grace, the columbine very kindly came up volunteer just in front of the clematis. The butterfly was flapping its wings and I had hoped to catch her "open" but still I thought this shot worth saving.

Strange . . . seems to work that way around here too.

Chuck, consistent with reality.

LOVE that columbine---it's a double-variety and my favorite. I have one here that pops up all over the garden and it is maroon....so lovely.

Oh...and admiral butterfly! Did he sit on you? They are known for sitting on your head or shoulders if you sit still out in the yard! Hobbes was stalking ours yesterday...and then got yelled at. Wish he would stalk the neighbor's new barky dog.

Lin, we have several double columbines that have appeared around the front yard, these pink/white ones and a deep purple variety. The butterfly flitted on his merry way not stopping to caress me.

Beautiful flowers in your neck of the woods.
