Sunday Safari

Today I am posting a Sunday Safari that I took through my garden. Cheryl at My Wildlife Sanctuary in jolly ole England has been doing this for some time every Sunday. Sherry over at Q's Corner also usually posts a Sunday Safari. Today I decided to join them since there are lots of birds, bees and bugs to see in our garden today. I haven't tried to id every bug here but if I happen to know what it is I will say... this house wren scolded me as I went around the garden. It wasn't thrilled with my tour especially when my DB came out with his camera to see what I was up to. I want to thank him for some of the pictures I have used here.
You can click on the photos to enlarge them if you want a closer look.
This butterfly below is a Snout. You can see why it got its name.
I have no idea about these wasps and wasp mimics...
I would have positioned this butterfly up by the other one but Blogger is acting bad today. It won't let me move photos. BooooooAt the bottom left of this picture you can see the Ruby-throated Hummingbird that was having a rest after dining on this French Honeysuckle.
A honey bee. The Curly Mint out front is blooming which is what a lot of the bees were attracted to.



This bee looked as though it had gotten into a pollen storm, it is just covered with pollen.
I hope you enjoyed the bugs and bees. We are having such a lovely weekend here. Cooler than normal temps and we have had plenty of rain so we are just sitting back and enjoying what the weather brings.
















New Blogger, Old Blogger

     All I can say it is difficult to deal with change. This new Blogger format is not as user friendly in my opinion. I guess I will get us...
