From last week's snow .... It was pretty, but I'm okay if it all melted now. 😉

Not as crisp as I'd like, but that's what happens when you shoot through a glass door. This beauty landed on my deck. By the time I grabbed my camera, they moved to the fence for the tennis court.

Early morning visitor. The sun was still rising, straight ahead of where this beauty was standing. I love my backyard.

Hello lovely! Came home from an early morning appointment, and this beauty was sitting on the side of the roadway ~ scouting fish in the river inlet.

The last of the shots from when Mr. H paid me a visit a week or so ago. At the end of the season, those darn bees are brutally annoying to the hummingbirds. It happens on the Oriole feeder too. 😔

One final shot of Mr. H. from last week before heading south.

The final buds/blooms of the season. Will they fully bloom before we have the first frost? 🤔

My pale swallowtail is back ... poor thing looks like they've been through the ringer. And they have some company in the last shot.

Pale Swallowtail. Silver-spotted Skipper. My bunny friend. My garden's been busy today. New visitors; loyal friends.

No color touch-up in editing, these are all their natural colors.

I wish I was able to change the shutter speed faster to capture his wings, but it still looks kind of cool. That's a man on a mission!💖
