Today, walking with Ginger, I was using my iPhone to capture some images for a Spanish lesson. This garden of coneflowers (Echinacea) just down the street, caught my eye.

You might notice the butterfly – I did as it moved from plant to plant. I got my regular camera ready and as it settled, got a nice shot of it.

In spite of floods, warming, smoke from Canada, and all, moments like this give me hope. Getting outside is a good way to stay healthy, physically and mentally.
