Nature's wonder has eluded me this warm season, unless we are talking storms. The steady dose of volatile June weather we've been enjoying (?) has kept me out of our woods for the most part. I have barely used my camera. Bringing horse in/out and vegetable gardening are done in rushed swatting spurts.
Summer is officially my least favorite season.
Consequently, more time is spent indoors appreciating cooler air. With too much time to ponder. What is my purpose? Damned if I know.
I try not to spend too much time in my head. Letting thoughts circles, and circle AND circle.
Thank goodness there are breaks between storms. One was just long enough to enjoy a family reunion on my Mother-in-Law's side, at a park. After 18-ish years, everyone is noticeably aging.
A few bike rides along the river have been enjoyed. Moving faster than the speed of mosquito helps avoid the blood suckers.
Dogs walks are infrequent and very short. Our older Lab is black, a flying pest magnet. I spotted a web glistening in morning light. It inspired me to make a second trip (via putt-putt) and dust off my dormant camera.

I also made a quick stop at my Butterfly Garden. Glad it is being enjoyed.

Our weather isn't all bad, but it sure makes a person wonder.
