Sun angel

I love the way the sun plays with the water...both showing off the others glory.

North country Narnia

The first snowfall of the season left my eyes in a magical land of beauty and peace.

Stone Valley Trail

Stone Valley trail is one of my most favorite trails in North Country. The sound of the river, the blue sky above, and the green trees soothe my soul.

Mount Arab

The breathtaking autumnal view from Mt Arab's Fire Tower

Common yellow throat

A cute looking bird made my Birdwalk perfect!

Grosbeak on Mothers' Day

I joined Bird Walk on Mothers' Day last day and saw many beautiful birds, including this male grosbeak.

A swallowtail and irises

A perfect combination: a swallowtail butterfly and irises on a summer day.

White butterfly (Pleris rapae) and broccoli flowers

White butterfly or cabbage butterfly (Pleris rapae) fluttered among broccoli flowers, oh, so mesmerizing. Only later did I learn that it's actually not friendly to my brassicas. Oh well .... it is a pretty insect, anyway.

Swallowtail butterflies and zinnias

Fluttering and dancing among flowers, this swallowtail butterfly took my breath away.
