Nice thorny.



sheri, i had to look several times and just saw it, just now. i swore you were picking on us!

Not a butterfly but I thought this luna Moth
was neat looking

I know Jiffy. I could see it throught the camera lens but after I took the picture I thought it had flown away before I snapped it. It is a pale yellow and blends right in.

I LOVE Luna Moths

that is so pretty.

Here is some shot I got of some

I am loving all these pictures!

The other day, I went out to look at the flowers around the pond, and saw this yellow tiger swallowtail just totally spread out on a dish of ocean pebbles. The dish was also filled with water from the previous night's rain and the butterfly was not moving at all! I thought it was dead.

I went inside to get my camera and when I went back to the spot, as soon as he saw me he flew off to a flower - scared me good!

So here he is enjoying the nectar of this oranges and lemons gaillardia.

is that how butterflies drink? They have to open their wings?

that's beautiful lynne

Lynne----such a nice photo----I am bertting it would go far in a photo contest of some kind, don't ya think??

I just know they taste with their feet!

what is that beautiful flower? Great color.

its a bachelor button,, raspberry ,,,,,,,,they are a very Bright purple pink I can't get a good picture

hey Sheri did you get the seeds I sent pineapple sage??

did you send them with the last goodie box? I posted everything in there but I don't remember those.

If it was an envelope it could be in Johnny's work van. He picks up the mail and I don't get it unless I go through his van. So aggravating. Thanks for thinking of me. Mine did pretty good this year. They don't spread out though.??? Are they supposed too? Will it return next year?


I don't have any raspberry bbs. I've only got blue. I'm gonna see if I can find some because it's so pretty. Mine blue first thing in the spring an do really well here. I'm surprised yours are blooming now.

I can't get over the gorgeous photos in here!!! I'm glad I finally looked at this topic!! Quit a few of them should be in pnoto contests!!!
