life in the back yard

today i felt inspired to take a few photos of the flowers blooming out back by our pond. bee balm and cone flowers are a few of my favorite flowers because they attract so many butterflies. i was fortunate to see a butterfly on the cone flower and i insisted she pose for a picture. she reluctantly agreed. my favorite flower is the brown eyed susan tho. i don't know what it is about them but they just make me feel so happy when they are in bloom. i always feel so blessed to have such a beautiful backyard sanctuary.
