Nature is beautiful ♥


I have always had a fascination with nature. All of the different creatures, plants and trees combine to make this world a place of true beauty.
I love having a garden where I can relax and enjoy nice sunny days, and the wonderful changes that
occur during each season make having a garden even more worthwhile. 
Here are some photos of the things I find beautiful in my own little patch of nature.


This dragonfly flew in through the window and is truly magnificent


Despite doing lots of research, I'm not quite sure what kind of spider this is but it makes a really interesting funnel web


My cat 'Shadow' lives in my garden in the daytime. No matter what the weather throws at her, she is always out there


A beautiful 'Chinese Rose'


This pumpkin plant grew from a pumpkin we left outside to decompose last year after Halloween. One of the seeds must have taken in the soil, as a few weeks ago we noticed a small plant growing there. Since then, it has exploded into the giant plant pictured above. 
Just look at the size of one of the leaves compared to my husband's hand, enormous!


Not the normal kind of butterfly we see around here
