Need some sunshine in our lives...

Our boy is one sick puppy! He seemed fine this morning so off to school he went. I got a call at about 10 am that he was throwing up, ugh! I picked him up and brought him home. He seemed fine, a bit weak. He wanted lunch and ate it. I called the doctor and got him an appt. for later in the afternoon. The doctor seems to think it's a sinus infection and he put him on some antibiotics and nasal spray for allergies. On the way home from town our boy started vomiting and didn't stop until his stomach was empty, poor thing. We had Daddy pick up the meds on his way home as the pharmacy said it would be 2 hours before they were ready, glad we didn't wait and were headed home when Michael got sick again. He took a nap when we got home and got up complaining that his ears hurt...Daddy finally made it home with the meds. He's had the meds and is in bed sleeping, lets hope they kick in and he feels better come morning.

He and we are just not having any fun as of late...

While waiting to leave for Michael's doctors appt. I noticed the Jasmine was covered in bees and butterflies. I first tried the telephoto lens from a distance but the wind was terrible and the photos were blurry. I then put the Macro lens (100mm Canon) on the camera with the tripod and tried again...The butterflies didn't like me and the camera coming close to them but I did manage a few photos of them before they fluttered off...

Pipevine Swallowtail,

the main species of butterfly fluttering around the Jasmine.

He was pretty good sized and looking for some nectar to take back to the nest. The hair on their back legs will become loaded with Pollen as they go from bloom to bloom. This one must have just found the jasmine as he doesn't have any pollen on his back legs yet.

Just a wee bit of sunshine in our not so good day :o)
