E. spotted this brighter than bright Monarch butterfly flitting about his butterfly bush. He chased it around with the camera for awhile and finally caught it with it's freshly minted wings spread.
#1. Rules-Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don't have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have. When you are tagged, you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name game facts. At the end of your blog post you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged and to read your blog.
Well, I thought of choosing another middle name since I'm not too fond mine. This is the middle name on my birth certificate- Louise.
L. is both love and laughter-how can you truly have one without the other?

U. the umbelliferae, wild carrot, parsley, dill and yarrow....I love these lacy flowered plants that grace the garden as well as whatever meadows, fields and forests remain to them.
I. innocence-the endearing naivety of babies and young children and of young animals.....
S. simplicity- as much as possible, I avoid the beaten paths of life and seek simple pleasures..a cup of herb tea..a good book.
E. evening-the magic hour as day softens to night..when inside I leave the lights off as long as possible in order to experience this everyday phenomena.
Meme #2. This meme consists of ten questions to be answered.

Teletransport! I read a science fiction story in which each home had a doorway that was an installed utility, like electricity or telephone. You dialed up a location and stepped through the door and you were transported there.
