Nicole, I am loving your glads and hummers pics. I have not seen the Ruby Throats here go to the glads. Pictures are all great. Love the horse with the attitude and the very blond kiddies. Bob, nice capture of the Fritillery butterfly. Here is what it's underwings look like. Notice the smiley face in it's eye.

bengardening.....thank you! When I post late I always wonder if anyone views mine....:0) I've been looking at ALL the photos today and reading the stories on each....very NICE group of photos we have!!!! :0)

I snapped this of myself yesterday while riding back home, from Stockyard City, here within OKC.

Nicole, I was fortunate to have traveled through the Rockies during the fall color season. All that golden yellow was awesome. But we here in the East are partial to our own fall colors. Wherever, Mom nature is to be commended for her efforts. (Edited above to put a comma after Nicole... and then followed by I was fortunate etc.) This is from a couple years ago. Our colors happen more toward the end of October
