And the summer flies~ literally!

I was ripping about yesterday, tearing from meetings to ta ta pick up to conservation commission. I left the car running for a second and flew inside for some paperwork and when I got back out waiting on my door handle was this dude...

 It should have been complete with the theme from the Jaws movie. All right, so I exaggerate a bit. The blue color was brilliant and this time of year you can observe all the colors of summer, from the flowers and fruits to the buggers that bugger them.

I can't remember a worse year for biting insects of all kinds. I am a great nature girl...every creature has a place and purpose...and then I am STUNG again!  Farm wide there have been plenty of wasp stings, hornet infestations and then the monster mosquito population. I even stumbled on an underground nest in the back of my compost pile. Well, I didn't stumble on it...I accidentally dug the top right off of it. Rosie and I lucked out on that one. I saw them before they saw me. What an exercise motivator...RUN!!!!!  

I need to get back to work but it proved to me one can find a motivation to use color in art in all of those moments. That blue iridescence on my blue door made it so clear. Observe and run...observe and run!
