    Beautifully subtle bloom and grass images. And as ever the butterflies have such lovely colours and markings. Some impressive photography!

    Beautiful! The pollinators are very busy in your garden! Super photography! And, yes, the blooms in my post are Autumn Fire Sedum...Just starting to bloom and a very busy place...butterflies, bees, wasp...

    Incredible shots. That monarch is amazing. Sadly we have not seen a lot of butterflies as of late though yesterday I saw two new colors (I don't know any other than Monarch and Swallowtail) and lots of dragonflies so hopefully they are all starting to come. We have plenty of bees- three varieties I am told by George our neighbor. Your shots are inspiring.

    What fantastic shots of some of the pollinators in your garden. I am glad we do not have many of those hopping green critters though. LOL! The beetles are bad enough. I love the last picture of the coneflowers.

    Beautiful photos! I especially like the one of the hairstreak, as they are so small it can be hard to get such a good close-up.

    Yes...beautiful photos.
    We haven't had many butterflies. Too hot? Not enough of their kind of blooms? Don't know.
    Thanks for sharing yours.
    Have a good weekend.

    Hi! What a beautiful post!

    I also have appreciated your comments on your shoulder surgery... things are going very well for me so far and my range of motion has been about 30% better than the therapist had expected... I spend a good part of the night in a bed but generally end up in a recliner. I'm also doing all my own driving, so things are going well... thank you for your interest... Larry

    I didn't know that bees adored the datura so much! Yet another excuse--er, reason--for me to plant it next year! :)
