Beautiful! I can never get butterflies to be still long enough for such a pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - and I'm happy to see the mighty roadrunner finding southern KS to its liking. The various pollinators are what make a closer look at flowers even better, not to mention food for them!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely images, Greggo! I have never seen a roadrunner before. What a treat.

Quite beautiful photos. You really have an eye for a good photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the fourth one down?
ReplyDeleteGreat pics - the first is stunning! And I love the second, too. Odd - I've never seen a roadrunner in a pear tree. Shouldn't that be a partridge?
ReplyDeleteHolley: that's the first one I've seen in a tree also. Extremely odd, it was trying to get away from my camera. Generally they run away. Some day I'll doe a post on him/her.
ReplyDeleteDG:flower is a Native Echinacea angustafolia "Black Samson or Sampson Coneflower. Insect I'm not sure.
Rev: thanks
Diane: that is not normal for a roadrunner to be in a tree. so you get a double prize!
David: I agree, you get two for the price of one. Isn't that unusual for the rr to be in the tree?
Great pictures. That looks like a very BIG bird!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the road runner - they are hard to get a picture of...a friend posted on FB yesterday that she saw one making a get away with a blue jays chick!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pix! Love that roadrunner!
ReplyDeleteI never saw a roadrunner before. That is something.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love the roadrunner! I didn't ever think about them sitting in trees. Once (when we lived in Texas) I opened my front door and there was a roadrunner standing at the front stoop. We looked at each other for a few seconds and then off he ran. It was a very cool experience!
ReplyDeletegorgeous glimpses from your camera, thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I'm partial to butterflies, but the last photo of the roadrunner is really something.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the roadrunner! You got such good photos of the butterflies! I just planted a milkweed plant a month ago...no sign of butterflies (or larvae)...yet.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots! Especially the roadrunner - those guys are hard to catch - just ask Wile Coyote!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots to celebrate the beloved pollinators - that asclepias is new to me - very nice!
ReplyDeleteUwielbiam motyle i ptaki i cieszę się,że udało Ci się je "złapać aparatem", bo mogę popatrzeć na nie. Pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I especially love the 3rd one.
ReplyDeleteThat insect on the Echinacea is named Hank.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos...I'm working on a garden article right now regarding pollinators! You gave me perfect inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your wildflowers and critters. Nice shots!
