Thank you so very much, Bill. Yes, they are beautiful and bring splashes of color to our surroundings, much like flowers.

You give the reader a summer image Milton , can't wait for those long summer days. Love to see them in the garden doing their aerial ballet. Tom

Nothing is more beautiful on a warm summer day. You aptly describe it as an "aerial ballet."

Aw, thanks, Jenna. I mentioned you in a poem a little while ago; I hope you don't mind. I sort of picked up on the Soup Creek theme.
