Kathy Grace had this Pale Swallowtail land on a blooming dahlia, a beautiful sight to behold.

And Paul Brewer photographed a Painted Lady feeding on a flower in his Gualala garden.

I love butterflies and I will stop what I'm doing to watch them as they travel from flower to flower.

Thanks to Kathy and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

It's a beach day on the Mendonoma Coast! The fog pulled back and if you get a little bit away from the coastline, it's hot! There are beautiful clouds in the sky today, which might bring us a spectacular sunset. Yes, sunset season looks to be here.
