Pictures of Female Diana Butterfly


While out walking Sunday afternoon, I had the rare privilege of observing and photographing a female Diana Butterfly. Apparently they are rarely seen in August, and are considered a sensitive species. It landed lightly on some tall purple thistle, that was growing abundantly along the edge of the tree line, going out towards an open field. I was able to watch this fascinating butterfly up close for almost 5 minutes before it fluttered above my head briefly, as if watching me, and then disappeared across an open field. It was one of the largest butterflies I’ve ever seen in Oklahoma.

Sunday Morning Sex

I will never hear church bells ringing again without smiling...

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie Went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old Grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, 'He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning.'

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

'Oh no, my dear,' replied granny. 'Many years ago, realizing our Advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring.
It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply, in on the Ding and out on the Dong.'

She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, 'He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along!'
