Happy Friday 💕
Happy Monday 💚
We took down the feeder to clean and refill and this one went straight for the plant on the patio. I guess I need to take down the feeder more often. :)
Female Baltimore Oriole 💛
Look who stopped by the feeder this morning - I have never seen an Oriole here. The females are a beautiful yellow/gold color.
Happy Tuesday 🧡💛
Skipper Butterfly on an Indian Blanket flower
Seeing Double 🦋
I rarely see two butterflies on the same flower, but these two were fighting over this one flower for quite a while, until they finally agreed to share. Even though there were probably 30 other Indian Blanket flowers around! And the sun hit it just right when I took this.
Happy Wednesday 🌻
Depth of Field 💚
Having a little fun with the mantis, depth of field, and reflection.
Balancing Act ⚖

Dinner Time 🍽
I found this praying mantis in our crape myrtle tree having a little dinner, or dessert.

Coming in Hot ✈
White-winged dove landing on the bird feeder as the sun was setting
Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp 🐝
This one has been circling the same spot for two weeks now (I guess looking for Cicadas!). He finally came to a rest on the tomato cage!
Not Something you See Every Day 😀
I looked out the window and found this (rather large) walking stick climbing up the bird feeder!
Happy Monday 🔷🔹
I spotted this little one hanging out on a curvy leaf on my walk through Zilker Botanical Gardens
Say Cheese 🕷
I found this tiny green crab spider on the milkweed (and I mean tiny). If you zoom in, you can see him smiling at you. :)
Backyard Guest 🦎
This little one has been hanging out in the backyard for a few months.
Firefly and a Stormy Sky 💜
This has been on my photography bucket list for a while. I finally got one to land and light up! We had beautiful, purple skies from earlier storms.
