The weather was absolutely perfect...
Lots of sunshine...
Balmy breezes...
Warm lake waters for swimming...
Lots of plants have shrivelled up from lack of rain...
But a few specimens are still putting out gorgeous blooms...
I am sharing a few with you...
And a sweet surprise at the end...
The Sedums are especially large this year...guess 'cause they are succulents, they don't need as much rain....
The Monarchs are beginning to fly past....and I know they will be stopping for some nectar from these babies... :o)
The pink Cleome
is fat and juicy with blooms...
They share a bed with the pink obedient plants...
They attract a wide variety of nectar seekers...
Haven't seen as many Hummingbirds this year..
But another little guy has been around in the dozens...
Very difficult to get a good shot...
But I managed this shot...
Look down...
Isn't he adorable!!!! Couldn't get one of him ON the flower...
But........I thought this was pretty cool!!!
Hope you all had a great wonderful weekend...
Cheers! :o)

ReplyDeleteYes....took about a hundred pictures...they are so Quick!!!!!
DeleteGreat capture of the clear wing hummingbird moth. I remember the first time I saw them and was thrilled.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, it is actually raining today. Not that drippy sort that lasts 5 minutes but a steady downfall. I'm doing a bit of sorting and a sewing project while listening to the rain come down. :)
Pretty rainy here as well...gave me a chance to do a few fall clean-ups inside...
Deletewow...I have never seen or even heard of that moth! What a great shot! Love that purple flower he's interested in, too!
ReplyDeleteThe obedient plant...isn't he adorable!!!! But very quick...I must say!
DeleteLovely shots all.
