Oh how divine these cooler days and nights have been!
We can finally stand to spend time outdoors.
Nature abounds all around us!
The butterfly bush is the main attraction.
Nature just flitters and floats and buzzes all day.
I have discovered not one but TWO hummingbirds now.
We have the green one that I posted about here not long ago.
He was the very first one here.
Isn't he a CUTIE??
But since there we have been spying this cute white one.
And the green one is very upset he has to share
They are constantly at each other, as they're quite territorial.
(As if Finch Rest would let either of them starve! Silly birds!)
If you love hummingbirds be sure to check out that old post
mentioned above for a very economical easy nectar to make
for your hummingbirds!
Have a fabulous week, everyone!

This one does often, I think he's a bit lazy, haha.
DeleteLooks like Mother Nature and her critters are very happy at Finch Rest!

Love how you describe nature floating and buzzing and flittering...prolly not in that order, but it was a wonderfully descriptive line. Beautiful photos, too, Michele.
ReplyDeleteIneresting photos and mosaic. What's he name of the big yellow butterfly? Yes, the butterfly bushes are the favourites here too, espec. the purple and the blue.

Beautiful images! I have seen butterflies looming around my flower garden but did not take photos of them yet. I would try to do it later of the day. Your post inspire me to take photos of butterfly and bees (I hope) ^_^

Love all the pictures ...that Bee Closeup is extraordinary! He almost looks like a fuzzy little stuffed animal from the perspective of the photo!
ReplyDeleteHi Michele: Gorgeous photos--I especially love hummingbirds, too! I have a couple that feed at all the nasturtiums that I have planted, as well as some red nicotania that is blooming away right now, in addition to the feeder. Love them!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY! I am enjoying the cooler temperatures too - we have a few hummingbirds thanks to my neighbor's bushes - He has giant butterfly bushes - I need to go over and take pictures! I appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
