Briefly settling among the Rose of Sharon or Hypericum is a Meadow Brown butterfly which are on the wing from June to August but before I could zoom in any further it had flown on its busy way to make the most of summer.  These little brown butterflies are quite similar to the Gatekeeper butterfly but can be distinguished by the fact that they have only one dot in their wing 'eye' whereas the Gatekeeper has two. I imagine the dots on these rhododendron would identify them but all I know is I thought them pretty as I zoomed in for a closer look.

This is the nearest I could find to a letter Z in my collection for the last letter of the alphabet which warns that one could by zapped by electricity if vaulting over the fence, not only that but the double helix sign warns that the "premises are marked by a security system using a DNA system" so when laying comatose or dead  perhaps one would be adding even more DNA. Stay safe, heed the warning, but don't ignore the post box for sending words on paper

but for those in electronic format next week's post will be in the new home of ABC Wednesday hosted by Melody so the invite is for everyone to zoom over there and zap in your entry on July the 12th and begin the  21st Round of ABC Wednesday.

An entry to ABC Wednesday, a journey through the alphabet this week  for the last time at Z here Posted by Joy at 20:07 Labels: ABC Wednesday, Butterflies, electricity, Flowers, Meadow Brown, Seathwaite, Signs 
Great word choices and photos too.

Seems a little drastic when all you want to is post a letter :)

Love the "Z" in the sign!

I know the pink, but never have seen the white Rhododendron - beautiful! Wow, at least you got one good shot of this butterfly:) Thanks for visiting me!

I think the zoom feature is one of the best things you can do with a camera.

You and the butterfly have reminded me that I would like to grow some rose of sharon around the yard. Thank you. :-)
