Abstract Thursday ....

.... colorful. Or colourful.

I'm slowly getting all my photo programs loaded on this new laptop. Today's abstract is courtesy of Topaz Studio ... which I initially had trouble loading but is now all set to use again.  

I was also able to reload the collage software that I love .... which is Picasa 3.  Unfortunately it's not supported by Google any longer so I had to figure out how to reload the software.  Richard was my hero once again!  That said ... I have added an extra of some other photos (in a collage) taken today. 

We once again took our supper up to Jacobsburg State Park to have a picnic and then watch for hummingbirds.  We only saw one male (see collage) but we did have our first sighting of the season of some hummingbird hawk-moths ... also in collage.  I believe this one to be a Clearwing moth ... but correct me if I'm wrong.

I saw two monarch butterflies today in our backyard ... both females that laid some eggs for us on the milkweed.  I will be gathering some of these eggs to put in the butterfly enclosures to help them become beautiful butterflies some day soon.   Watch this space ...
