Peace and Quiet...

I didn't go with Fred and Michael Sunday over to Dad's because I seem to have caught a cold and it's not a good idea to expose Dad to any virus's...I didn't feel too good but couldn't pass up the opportunity to go for a walk by myself...Beautiful, peace and quiet...

(You'll also have to excuse me I got carried away with the textures again when I was resizing the photos, lol...I just think they are sooo cool!)

Long-tailed skipper butterfly. I had a really hard time getting a photo of this little one. He was fluttering from one flower to another and just wouldn't pose for a picture :o)

From the Aster family.

Possibly a yellow-rumped warbler? Not sure why but this photo was one of my favorites from the day.

Autumn in South Texas...a view of the creek.

Gulf Fritillary amongst the Cow Pen Daisy's and grape vine. The bright orange of the butterfly really stood out and caught my eye.

Checkerspot in the Cow pen daisy's.

Perhaps it's sage, I thought it was gorgeous!

I'm honestly stunned by all the wildflowers that are blooming this autumn. I assume it is because of the rain we've been getting. I love it!

I was tired when I got done with my walk but it was worth it. I think peace and solitude is good for the soul.
