POPPY'S DANCE TROUPE

This is on a Mixed Media 'Crackled' background. It just called out for the Poppies to come dance. :) And while they are up dancing the folks in the home below are all sound asleep.

NO CLOUDS TODAY ...
I thought I would share this photo with you. For Mothers Day my Grandchildren bought me a Butterfly Net ... as a joke. Catching Butterflies has not been a recent pastime of mine. Last night I went out to the garage to turn off the lights, (that someone else in this family had left on), :/ and I found this little Hummingbird flying wildly around. He kept banging into the lights, probably thinking they were daylight and a way out. No, I couldn't turn off the lights because this is a newly finished garage and I have no idea where all the light switches are. (I know, sounds strange, but there is nothing in this family that runs the gamut of normal. :) At that point, I happened to remember the Butterfly net, so I went, retrieved it, and then proceeded to climb over piles of wood, tools, ATV's, and an un-hooked up Wood Stove trying to catch this little guy with my nifty pink Butterfly net.
But ... as you can see, I did catch him.
I think the poor little guy (or gal) was so traumatized by the whole thing that he stayed in the net for 2 or 3 minutes before flying off. I was able to bring him outside, lay the net handle across the arms of a Patio chair, run inside for my camera, and get this photo before he said "Enough!" and off he went.
Moral of the story ... if your children or grandchildren buy you a Butterfly net, don't laugh. You just never know ...
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
