Fungi Ruffles,Butterfly and Birds

On some of my recent travels around southern Manitoba,I ended up on an old cemetery.I was looking for the burial sight of my mother-in-law,that I never got to know. She passed away long before I met Jake.I didn't find her grave but I did find some fungi ruffles.

To me this looked like a ruffled skirt,nestled up against the tree trunk.

Of course I had to get a closer look.

Here are the ruffles in a closer look.

I just never get tired of the sky when I look out of my back door in the morning.

I have not seriously pursued butterfly photography,but will try to capture one when I see it.

Sitting on my deck,enjoying the sunshine often gives me a chance to capture birds at the bird bath or on a nearby tree.I love the Black-capped Chickadee.

This Mourning Dove sees me and isn't quite sure about my presence.Look at those pretty pink feet.

Closing Thought:

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful.
