for Tania @panneau-tableau thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging comments my friend! And - why settle for one if you can have two? A monarch and a gulf fritillary are liking the same flower

Today was one of those days when I wanted to take “ugly” pictures. Set my phone camera to monochrome mode, set focus distance to manual - is it even a thing, intentional out of focus photos? Like intentional camera movement, but just out of focus. Oh, and intentional wrong exposure, too. It is so, so fun. So today was quite windy... And as I was walking around the lake and passing by some blooming trees that are already losing their wonderful white outfits, there was an opening among the trees and I took a photo thoughtlessly, right against the wind. Later on a big screen it was a huge surprise to notice this smart small petal that managed to fly exactly within the focus distance, where it could be seen.

From today’s walk: trying to guess what has been planted in the fields. Probably wheat or corn. We’ll see this soon enough 🙂
