Declaration of Independence
Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776
“You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.”
Washington, D. C. 3 July 2009

Lazy Hazy Day In August
Woke from a couch nap to see this siesta on our deck rail. Had complete empathy. Double pane glass door and screen between us so focus is a little soft, in addition to the soft, diffuse light of open shade. They are necessarily ever alert so I waited until he closed his eye which told the story better. Removed some light branches in the background to keep attention on the main idea.

Bramble Rose
Been driving by a big splash of color in an open field. Went exploring Sunday.
Probably a long abandoned garden. Anchored around a fruit tree, 50 feet in diameter and spreading through the grass. .

Carolina August
A Widow Skimmer (Libellula luctuosa) by our front door. Seeing the piece of missing wing and other scars, I know how he feels in our mid-summer.
Butterfly & Bee Brunch
Sunday in the shade. Good food & good company, as it should be, on a hot July afternoon.
