1. Beautiful. Just simply beautiful animals. When I lived in the middle of the Ozarks back in the ...

60s/70s, it was a treat to sit outside my Great Grandma (and Grandma's) place in the Ozark countryside and watch the endless parade of various butterflies that came to check out the flowers. They lived in a wood shack that my great grandfather actually cut in his sawmill.

It was an awe-inspiring to see the wide mix of critters coming to check out the flowers (and the other critters who were visiting too). I wish back then I/we had cameras more readily available and then I would have had more videos to watch for hours. I know that there are videos out there by the boatloads worth, but I guess the memories of Grandma's place and the wildlife invokes strong feelings in me, fond memories.
