I'm glad I photographed this butterfly
because I haven't seen one since. Where are you, butterflies? |

The red hibiscus flowers turn into umbrellas. Rain, rain, rain -
we've been getting late day storms nearly every day. |

We took a spontaneous 24-hour trip to the beach at Salter Path, N.C.,
when we got the last room available at our favorite retreat center.
Swimming held by the waves and walking the beach is a prayer.

A mystery flower emerges from a tall plant with iris-like leaves.
Can you identify it? |

So many beautiful photos and memories! No, I have no idea what that flower is, sorry. How nifty to see the sunrise and sunset at the same spot!
Beautiful captures! The rain has been a blessing and well, enough already :) The beach looks amazing. We are going to get our beach fix in a week and I can't wait. No clue what your mystery plant is...
Beth, the beach on the Crystal Coast of NC runs west-east facing South into the Atlantic so you can see both sunrise and sunset. This time of year the sun is rising and setting to the north over the land, but the reflections of the light on the beach are still beautiful.
Karin, yes, I agree about the rain. Enough, though I hate to say that. I haven't had to water the garden in a month.
The flower is a gladiolus. Beautiful photos.
