Ponies, Sunflowers and Butterflies

"Assateague Reflection"

It's been a productive weekend or me. I finished an acrylic painting of a wild pony in the marshlands. At least I think I finished, always room for improvement, right? It's from a photo I took on Assateague Island last week, an experience that I found particularly moving. They'll be swimming the ponies soon from Assateague to Chincoteague, I would love to go someday and buy a colt or filly. Just to be able to go and take photos would be a real treat!

Here's a tiny butterfly that was in my garden this morning. She's the size of a fingernail!

She held still long enough for me to get a picture.

Love this sunflower in front of my house. I planted a ton of them this year,

 last year they were eaten by groundhogs.

Question Mark Butterfly in the garden. He was feasting on my split tomatoes.

 They love rotting fruit. The name comes from that tiny little white marking on the lower part of the wing.

A sunflower in my pumpkin patch with the setting sun.

Happy Sunday :o)
