Nice looking moth, Kevin. 

Some species of fly on the petal on some variety of iris...

These are really great!  That ladybug in the coneflower is just fantastic!

Hello, nice to meet you too...


Will you just pose right there for a few?
May I take some pictures of you?
This will only take a minute or two.
So how do you do?
Such lovely weather here, how is it over there with your view?
You aren't a carrier of a virus or flu..
Ya know, I almost stepped on you with my shoe..
In some countries you are a delicatessen and may be in a stew.
Some may even dip you into chocolate fondue...
I would like to say what kind of bug you are but if only I knew..

The clouds are rolling away, I think I see some blue.

Well since you won't say, I will say thank you...

This isn't the greatest photo, but I was thrilled to see the mantis!

I still dont know what this bug is....On the plant that took a month to bloom, its of the Iris plants I think...

Looks like a weevil of some sort perhaps?

You are right probably, I just looked up weevil in google and I found a interesting description on wikipedia..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weevil
There are over 60,000 types of them...I wonder though since it says they like to eat grain or destroy crops of cotton as well as oats if they are from fields that are growing hay nearby? What else will they destroy like my flowers and trees.. hmm got to read up some more..

Like your picture there with the walking stick its very nice the green leaves make him stand out. thanks for the suggestion, well appreciated.

This wee eastern fence lizard was hanging around my compost heap.

Those are really nice photos.  Thanks for sharing them with us.  I must have some more.  Will look.

Some kind of bird, drinking water from a plastic container in our back yard!

The Transformation of the Butterfly is a picture of GOD transfroming us to New Creatures in Christ Jesus.  2nd Cor. 5: vcerse 17 says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."

That's so lovely.  We're trying to save the milkweed up here from being sprayed as it's the only plant the Monarch feeds on as the caterpiller.

That's truly a wonderful capture and just a good thought too.

Thanks!

Thanks Pat. I don't even know half the time what the Flowers are
in the pictures.  I just love all the colors.  I'm certainly glad that we are new creations throught the Blood of Jesus.   Now thats something you can depend on.
Steve

AMEN!!! Steve. 



I think that the flowers in your butterfly photo are wild asters.  The Monarch Butterfly lands on any of the flowers but the catterpillar only eats milkweed.

Well this guy wasn't in our garden, he was on the front lawn of out neighbors house when I came home one morning. I huried inside, grabbed my camera, and came out. I whistled at him to get him to stand up.

Smokey, is that dry grass in the bunny's mouth?  That's so cute.  Great colour in the photo too.

Two fine shots, Pat.

Excellent Pat

This bad boy was on my back while I was taking phtos of the sunflowers. My wife bravely got it to climb on her hand, and she put it on the sunflower

What a great picture Pat of the ladybug in the cone flower.   It looks like a yellow one!       Ruthie

No, it was orange, Ruthie.  And it was there for a couple of days too.  I thought it was dead but it wasn't.  And as the cone flower started to bloom, there was no more room for it in there so it climbed out.

Smokey, I've never seen a brown praying mantis.  Most I've seen are green.  They CAN bite too although I've never been bitten but my kids have.

All great shots of the garden visitors. I have senn a lot of bubmle bees here and a few honey bees, but since I am allergic to bees I stay as far from the as possible so no photos of the bees. I don't have a bee sting kit I need t get one from my doctor.
