**The Calm Before The Storm**
Isabel is coming so we battened down the hatches late last night...removed all the lawn ornament projectiles, etc...stood back on the patio to look around one last time...she flew at me from the darkness and fell to the ground...I leaned down and touched her wings...she didn't fly away, but fluttered her wings as if I were petting her and she liked my attention...I braved the the fear of her flight and gently pushed my hand under her delicate legs and let he walk into my hand...I pleaded with my husband to run for the camera...he said her wings must be wet from the night dew and she came to the light to dry off...she liked when I held her up to the light...I could tell cause her wings would fan and fluff...
Just had to share a special moment.....a rare moment.......a fleeting moment to put in my memory archives......
I think my husband captured my feeling........hope you enjoy!
Stay Safe Everyone!

That's really beautiful Lixy... I had a very spiritual experience with an injured goose recently and so I can imagine how you felt. The gift they bestow is a communion with nature. A great reminder that there is soooo many tiny things we take for granted. Be safe!

Oh......you guys are wonderful! TY for the well wishes (and the sweet compliment, fzzy)! Hugs to all and a big too! Isabel turned left and missed us for the most part....but it's REALLY windy! Whew! We were luckier than some!
I know what you mean Lil.......I've been photographing nature alot lately. This time of year always puts me in a reflecting mood......makes me more in tune (if you will). Don't know what happened to "Izzy" (I named her after the storm..lol!) after I put her in the tree to keep my cat away from her.....but I have another friend who has been around all summer. I don't pick him up though.....you'll see why below! I call him Luke....dunno why! The name that pops into my head is the name they get!

I love spiders and I never kill them.............
OK....unless it's a big wolf spider and he's/she's in my bedroom. But.....if I can get it safely under glass, I'll just put it outside.

Thanks for the beautiful nature photography, Lixy!! The butterfly is so absolutely gorgeous. I'm stunned that she let you hold her long enough to get so many wonderful photos.
And dammit woman, now that you're back, PLEASE STAY!!!! I miss you terribly!!!
