This June Bug was cuddling on my finger this afternoon. I kept putting it on different plants around the edge of the deck, but it kept going back to my finger. I finally got it interested in a butterfly bush.
I actually got a lot of organizing done this morning and into the afternoon before I got rained out. The first rain that came through was a real downpour. Puck came in soaking wet, and stuck his tongue out at me when I was trying to get him to look at the camera. After it passed over, I got another hour or so of work done outside before the next rain came through. The second rain was nice and steady. The cats, June Bug and I sat out on the deck listened to the rain, and watched the birds play in it.
Off Center & Not Even 
Why does that June Bug look so much cuter on your finger and on your leaf than on my cosmos?
The first heavy rain bypassed my house entirely, even though there was plenty of lightning and thunder, and big, black clouds. The gentle rain came here also, and left about 1/8″. All in all, I’d have to say these first four days of the 2012 monsoon season have been pretty great.
It’s because I was playing with it!
-Macros are amazing !
Thanks!
I like all the photos today: the soggy Puck, the dandelions, roses and the June Bug. It looks like a fun and interesting day at the Price’s.
