Searching for Roy G Biv 4 - Brown - update 2

Welcome to the August installment of Roy G Biv. July saw the end of the formal Roy G Biv alphabet of colors. As we did last year, Julie and I have decided to extend the rainbow through the end of the year. August's color is brown. Enjoy!

    1. When in flight, the glasswing butterfly looks very much like a dragonfly - all you see is the white on the wings fluttering. They're beautiful and very fragile looking when still.

      So glad you're joining us again this month! Enjoy!

  2. What a wonderful assortment of browns you've put together here! I like the photo out the plane window, and those butterflies and the fish are amazing! I have posted my browns as well.

    1. Thanks Sharmon! The glasswing butterflies are so interesting to see flying. I've seen them before and thought them odd dragonflies. Enjoy!

    1. Brown gets a bad rap, doesn't it? A nice rich, deep, warm brown can be very luscious though - nice dark chocolate is yummy and the tan of a sandy beach brings thoughts of days at the beach...

  5. Oh I can't pick a favourite - they are all so delightful! I wonder why none of us posted chocolate bars? If I'd only thought...still I was chuffed to quote Brene Brown!

    1. Seems a bit like sacrilege that chocolate was neglected, doesn't it? Your Brene Brown is great.

    1. Thank you Mary Ann! Glad you'll be joining us next month with metallic gold. That's a hard one for me - more of a silver person so I notice it more. Enjoy!

  7. Hi J - the colour theme does challenge but also results in the showing of some delightful images. I think the glassing butterfly is special; but eating to cross is full of emotion.Peace. B

    1. Waiting to cross at the Adventure Park is very full of emotion at times. Mostly me wondering "what was I thinking?!?" and "Holy sh!t...I'll never make it across". With the girls being taller and heavier, they were allowed on more runs and a few were really interesting (read that as I would have climbed down and skipped that part if it were possible).

      Enjoy!

  8. That view from the aircraft reminds me of our wonderful trip to the Canyonlands last summer. I can feel the heat from here! But that beautiful glasswings butterfly is my favourite - so delicate!

  9. Hello Jennifer - I can't pick a favourite either .... adore the photo of the 'see-through' butterfly', glassing I presume and yet can actually FEEL the photograph where you are waiting your turn to cross at the adventure park. I would find that challenging/exhilarating. Will now have a wander further back through your blog x

    1. Welcome back! I've been wondering where you'd gotten to this summer and hoped you were off on a grand adventure. The Adventure Park is fun, challenging and scary. As the girls grow taller and heavier, they have access to more difficult levels of runs. We saw two boys about their age turn around and come back from a run that was the next level up. I asked a staff member why and he responded that there was a section where they just weren't tall enough to reach the overhead wire. That prompted me (in all my 5 feet of overwhelming height - ha!) to ask if I'd be able to reach it. No. For the upper level runs, it seems at least 5 ft 6 inches is the shortest that works well. Darn! That leaves 2 whole levels of runs inaccesible to me. Shame. (read that as phhhhewwww!!! or yes!) Enjoy!
