Beautiful life. Thank you for sharing all this positivity with us. I hope you are enjoying the season. ❤
Thank you, Maria! Summer is a great time of year.
Reblogged this on Purplerays.
Thank you for reblogging!
Great article
Thank you!
Gorgeous!! My daisies have yet to flower. Thank you, Eliza!! xo
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
You’re welcome!! xo
Beetle seems to match the center of the daisy. I wonder why beetles are so shiny?
Maybe their shininess tricks the eyes of predators??
Just did some look-ups…very interesting!
Looks like a great pollinator plant!
Endorsed by beetles… 😉
So pretty, the beetle too. I like the tint of the one opening up.
Thank you, the beetle was a fun surprise. 🙂
What a beautifully bronzed beetle!
Thank you, Anne. A happy find!
Beautiful image Eliza! Love the detail!
Thank you kindly, Reed!
Lovely. 😊
Thank you, Irene. x
My pleasure, Eliza. 😊
That beetle steals the show!
It was a happy surprise! 🙂
I love it when that happens.
What a great shot. The beetle is as pretty as the flower. 😃
Thank you, Cathy. I was glad to get a good shot of it, it added interest to the flowers. 🙂
Beautiful, Eliza! 🌼
Thank you, Julie!
Erigeron? I hope the beetle was just taking a rest break and not up to no good.
Yes, E. pulchella. It may have been munching, but being a temporary patch of lawn flowers that get mowed after blooming, I wasn’t too worried. 🙂
Beautiful Eliza!
Thank you, Agnes!
Wonderful capture!🙂
Thank you, Susan!
It is very easy to lose your “loves me, loves me not” count on a daisy fleabane. I can’t blow it up, but it surely does look like there is a selfie on that beetle. 🙂
I wondered about that myself!
A fine pair. 😊
Thanks, Belinda!
Small creature quietly going about its life. 🙂
Yes! 🙂
In the photo at least they enhance each other. Lovely signs of summer …
Thank you, Carol. They definitely do. 🙂
I love the Zen of this photo, Eliza. The daisies in several stages of life, and the iridescent insect who looks to be holding a bit of something in its mouth. Thanks for sharing this moment of beauty.
Thank you, Jet. That is the beetles antennae (its head is really little), but I love its shiny exoskeleton. A fun surprise to see.
Oh I’m glad you clarified that, Eliza, thank you.
Daisies seem to be well loved by shiny beetles here too … mine are covered in thick-thighed flower beetles. You timed your shot exactly right. P.s. I love the lilac flush on the new flower (it makes them prettier en masse too)
Thank you, Allison! Those beetles are a wonder – how do they get so shiny? 🙂
Very summery! Nice shot.
Thank you, Indie!
Erigeron species make endearing subjects.
They do, and they always seem to have visitors. 🙂 Thanks, Steve.
This is beautiful Eliza! The beetle looks bronze-colored.
Thank you, Maria. Yes, it has a metallic sheen that is quite attractive.
