My mom, the dogs and I went up to the cabin this weekend and the weather was wonderful. Not too hot and not very humid. In the garden at the cabin we have butterfly bushes that I never really been a fan of. Not because I dont like them. Its just because I am not a fan of bees and attracting them is not something I like doing, But, it is worth it because seeing the beautiful delicate butterflies makes everything seem wonderful.
At times it is hard to photograph butterflies because they move a lot. Always moving their wings and flying to another flower. Just have to watch them and get a shot before they fly off. Its so worth it though!
A bumble bee! I had to be very brave to get this close to him. Just the buzzing noise of bees makes me cringe. If you ever hear me screech and see my running very fast its probably because I heard and saw a bee or wasp near me.
Now, this little creature I have no clue what it is. First, I thought it was a big bee and my mom thought it was a baby hummingbird. But it looks like a bee butterfly doesnt it? Does anyone know what this is? Its very cool. I just dont have a clue what it is. Its a hummingbird moth.
Every year the little pear tree in our front yard grows more pears each year. Except, we never get to eat them. Why? Because the greedy but cute squirrels always take them before they are big enough to eat. This year is different though. We still have all the pears and they are almost ready to eat. Where are the squirrels? It was a mystery for a little but I put my brain to work and figured it out. We havent filled the bird feeders in the backyard for months which attracted squirrels. Which means they probably moved on to other areas. Arent I brilliant? So, now we got lots of pears on our tree. Lucky us.
Dont they look yummy? I bet they will be juicy soon. Pears are so delicious. Anyone want one or two? Maybe I will share with the squirrels. Take some for myself and leave the rest for the outside critters. Keep the rain and sun coming and make these pears big!
I would have to say bleeding hearts are my favorite flowers. All flowers are pretty but they just stand out to me and they are so unique looking. Every year I am so excited and happy when they bloom in our backyard. When I saw they bloomed I went outside to photograph them before it was too late. If I missed out I would of been so upset, but I am happy with how the photo above came out. I captured the beauty and the delicateness of these magnificent flowers. What do you think?
