  4. 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...

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  14. 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

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