Today I walked down to the mailbox with my camera, and spent some time visiting the blackberry bushes and the flowers nearby. I found this beautiful St. John's Wort blossom glowing in the morning sunshine that I thought might make a pretty picture! :) (Today I also have an image of some of the froglets in Angel's Pond and also a beautiful red and black longhorned beetle I found this morning! :)
