Choice Morsels

The Mama Kat prompt today is called a "This or That Halloween," based on a selection of 10 questions on a selection of topics related to Halloween, whether I would choose, "this" or "that." 1)   Chocolate Candy or Fruity? Are you kidding? I despise sweet tarts or sour pops or jelly beans. Even candy corn. Give me chocolate or give me nothing. 2 )   W itches or Vampires?  I'd take Witches because the costuming is more varied. There are so many famous movie Witches to choose from with some even being "good"  witches like Glinda, the Good Witch from the North in Wizard of Oz. 3)   Trick or Treat? Well, Treat, of course. Preferably chocolate.  4)   Halloween Party or Scary Movie? I don't watch scary movies, so a fun Halloween Party would be my choice. One with lots of chocolate. 5)   Skeletons or Zombies? Skeletons, because skeletons are basically real, since we all have one. Plus they don't eat people. 6) ...

Oopsie!  Garden Pic of the Day: I also got 2 awesome gorgeous photos of a Monarch Butterfly with wings fully open over the past 2 days. It's tricky photographing butterflies. You have to stealthily trail around after them, then stand very, very still with camera on them, patiently waiting for just the right second.  The Monarch likes to sip with it's wings closed for the most part, but this one was fanning it's wings open every so often, but only for a split-second! Believe me, I got a lot of photos of the back edge of his wings already closed again in my effort to click that...
