Going buggy? Coloring is calming.
Good for something!
Did you know that besides being kind of pesky; mosquitoes are also pollinators of certain wildflowers? Everything has its place in nature.
Lucky Lady
There are many kinds of Lady Bugs. Lady Bugs eat plant eating aphids which are considered a garden pest. They are considered a symbol of Good Luck.
Lady Bugs aren't actually "bugs" but rather are a beetle. However, they are cute as a bug, don't you think?
Cute or not, their spots are scary to predators and are a defense.
Lighting up the Twilight!
For young and old, there are few sights more delightful than a twilight glimpse of these flying flashers called Lightening Bugs or Fire Flies. The light is a natural chemical bio-luminescence thing... well worth fending off a few mosquitoes to watch in my humble opinion.

Colored Pencil Coloring Art... Bear and Bear Grass
Notice the yellow highlights and darker green & blue low lights on the bushes. See how a darker brown is used on the shadow areas of the bear. ( Grizzly! Minne-Mural™ Colored by R.Ruth)
The Plant on the right is called "Bear Grass". The name goes goes back to the Lewis & Clark Expedition where it's mentioned in the journals.
Bear Grass is actually not really a grass.
Bears don't eat bear grass, but it does get used for lining their dens. Elk do eat it, so it's also called "Elk Grass" (although it is still not a grass.)
Native Americans used it to make baskets, cloth and medicine tonics. The underground stems called "rhizomes" were used for food.
An apple a day...
Grabbing interest with Green
Christy from California colored some of the apples green "because you just never know!"
This is a detail from the "Apple Orchard" Minne-Mural™ Coloring Art Poster
Enjoyment
"I could just picture myself standing in the orchard...
This one was great fun!" (Coloring Artist Christy, CA)

It will never pause there for long, though, because the growth always continues.

You'll be amazed!

Of interest
The shadows on these rocks colored by Sienna of Iowa are noteworthy. Shading is an option in coloring art just as it is in any other art... but I think we all admit in this case it certainly adds interest and depth to these rocks.
