As I was preparing to depart, I noticed a large patch of wildflowers on the hill beside the building. Looking a bit more closely, I also observed a bunch of butterflies and bees enjoying said flowers. So I grabbed the point-and-shoot (aka “real” camera) and walked over for a closer look.
I only watched for about 5 minutes. The flowers were in the sun, and it was around 2:30, close to the hottest part of the day. I managed to capture some nice images. The color was a bit washed-out on all of them since the sun was so bright (that’s why midday is not the best time for pics), so I had to adjust the input levels a bit with PhotoShop Elements. I re-sized the pics to post, too.
I hope you enjoy the shots as much as I do. If you click on an image, you’ll get a better view.
My Mom loved butterflies. I can’t help but think of her every time I see one.
Tomorrow marks three years since her passing. She was my biggest fan, and would have enjoyed this post.
I’m glad you found a way to remember your Mom.
I like the ‘uplifted’ picture the most.
Thanks, Shan.
Beautiful photos! I guess the “real camera” still has a place…
Richard, absolutely! Thanks for the compliment.
Wow, Toadmama, for a mere 5 minutes, you grabbed some great shots! Well done.
Thanks, Ry. I’m fast. 🙂
What a beautiful way to be reminded of your mom. They’re just lovely.

Thanks, Fuzz.
What gorgeous shots, all of them! So crystal clear. And a lovely way to remember your mom. 🙂
The bright sun helped with the clarity. Thanks for the kind words.
Beautiful pictures. A nice memory post of your mom.
Thanks, B!
A hidden world unbeknownst to those who fail to look and see the daily wonders going on around them.
Nice way to honor your mom’s memory.
Thanks for sharing…
