Yesterday while I was driving, I spotted ahead of me a field full of yellow flowers. There also happened to be a small place to park right next to the field, and I quite abruptly turned into it. I pulled out my camera, and joyfully waded in.
There were bees,
and there were butterflies.
There were so many, actually, that I accidentally got them both in the same shot.
I'm so glad I stopped!
In other news, I have a sweater and a sock finished. And I have two new projects that don't even have a photo in Ravelry. Eek! I need to blog more. My dad is finally starting to recover, and we're hoping he'll get to leave the hospital soon. Good news all around.
I am glad your dad is on the mend Kristy. Also, I love all theis yellowness. It makes me want to go knit something yellow. And eat cheese, but that is just me.

Glad you stopped too. I think those yellow flowers may be some sort of coreopsis or maybe a type of cosmos. Whatever, they are lovely!
