The colors in these photos are superb! The melon worked for you in more ways than one. You have your own butterfly house there ... melon included. It is so funny ... I almost did the same thing recently. What a joy to see these... stellar dragonfly too.

It was neat seeing them up close because they were everywhere.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
