Amante de Sol

"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."........................................................... ~Hunter S. Thompson~

The Last Day of July!

Already!
Damn, although tomorrow, starts my most favourite month of the year!
YAY!
but, shit, summer's goin fast.

Anyway, my bro sent me this link to my sis-in-law's cousin Kevin Rhoad's (k.s. rhoads) blog, and I quickly looked up his other links to find some of his music.
Have a listen here.

Also, everyone's been talking butterflies and butterfly gardens, and I've lamented not seeing any beyond some plain ol white ones flitting about, but this afternoon I lucked out - As I sat outside for a bit before work, I happened to turn and notice this Monarch sitting on one of my Echinacea flowers. So I got the camera to open, and snapped a couple shots only using the zoom. Then, I decided to move closer, and of course, it took off. It circled around a few times, going way out to the front of my house, all around the neighbour's backyard, and each time nearly re-landing on the flower - could I have been too close? (I was still about 10 ft away, but closer to hopefully catch a much more zoomed in view.) Anyway, it never did re-land and I was grateful to have noticed it when I did.
Here, have a look:

These were just because the lilies looked so lovely in the sunshine.
