Happy July everyone, Happy Fourth of July Weekend to those celebrating, and Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends out there! I hope this month will be a good one for you all.
I am adding more favorites from the previous month. I intend to do this regularly, as long as there is plenty of computer time. I started last month at this link. Today I am also adding a list of what and where these photos were taken. Also another quote as you know how I enjoy those, and hoping that you will too.
"A picture is a poem without words."
~Horace~

Probably not the right Horace but the only Horace I found of interest was this one. Born Quintus Horatius Flaccus (born December 8th, 65 BC), known in the English-speaking world as "Horace", was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. He was a soldier, scriba quaestorius, poet and senator.
I easpecially love the dragonfly and fox!

Deletewhen the collage came up my eye went straight to that eagle statue. awesome shot. they are all beautiful. the quote is new to me and it is so very true. We to believe a picture is a poem without words.

ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy, I should have mentioned when I saw my first raccoon nose to nose practically. I think I may have screamed, just a little :)
DeleteHello Denise,:=) Many thanks for your visit and well wishes. I like your idea of making a mosaic, and keeping a record of where and when you saw each creature. This one is delightful. The cub fox has such a sweet face,and you captured a variety of wonderful images. The Eagle had me fooled, just for a while!:=)

DeleteLovely photos, and a great quote.
ReplyDeleteThe coneflower and cardinal are my favorites, and I would never have guessed the eagle was a statue. You've made it look so real.
Thank you Great Granny G :) I'm happy you liked them, and the statue :)
DeleteDenise, I have missed visiting with you, my friend. Seeing your photos are always so special! I love each and every capture. The red fox is terrific--how exciting to have him visit you so closely! I love your quotes and this one is no exception. I'm hoping to get back in the groove soon. Happy Fourth of July to you as well!
