At a local historical site, while wandering around, a wedding was being set up in the courtyard, under the trees. Dappled light, crystal, gold plates, and bright weavings made for a cheery display, perfect for a summer wedding. Cheers to the bride and groom, whoever they were!

Tulip trees have unremarkable flowers in that they are pale and blend in with the tree – no bright purples or pinks here. The leaves, though, change color when they die, turning wonderful yellows and reds, which are brilliant against summer foliage. Being deciduous, there is a glorious fall display, and then one waits for the coming of spring.

I really should be prepping for class, but couldn’t stand the thought of being inside on such a beautiful summer day. Out the door, down the road, and into the woods. I saw these beautiful bugs having a good time hanging out together.
