Velvet...

That's what the wings of this monarch reminded me of. Even though I recently posted a butterfly blip, I had to post this one because I thought it was so beautiful.

Weather report: Another perfect summer day. We have been blessed so far this week, and I hope the fine weather continues because we are going to Ohiopyle (Pennsylvania) on Thursday so some of us (not me) can go white water rafting. I am not a water baby, so I am going blipping instead.
