Happy Labor Day - Butterflies and Bees


 Thanks to all the hard workers that do so much to contribute to the strength and prosperity of our country.


These are some of the butterflies and bees I've seen this week, on the trails and in my neighborhood.


This is Sumac and the clusters of flowers are fragrant and attracting the honey bees!


What a joy to have so many wildflowers blooming now!


And pretty flowers in the flower beds!

Mosaics to share...


Bees...


and butterflies.


You can even see the rain falling from the sky before the rainbow came out!

Have a wonderful happy day! 

I'm joining Angie for Mosaic Monday HERE . 

and I like Thursdays HERE !

That reddy/orange butterfly is beautiful. We have nothing quite as lovely here in the way of swallowtails.

Happy Labor Day. Seems that bees and butterflies never take a holiday, do they? We could use some of that rain! I don't think we've seen a rainbow all summer.

Beautiful butterflies, wonderful bees -- the sumac is a great attractor and a pretty addition to the garden -- that makes it just about perfect. Happy Labor Day! We're enjoying our long-weekend (which is not one bit different from every weekend and for that we are grateful!)

Marcia said...

It has been a nice gently rainy day here today. It is sorely needed throughout New England. Pollinators get the day off.

Simply a beautiful post!

Bugs and blooms. And sky-scapes.

Truly a holiday feast for our eyes.
