Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? 

Same ole. Same ole here.  The HH hasn't won the lottery and I haven't hit the NY Times Best Seller list yet. Ha. 

Sadly, the Swallowtails are dying off.  I see bits and pieces of wings in the yard. I have no idea about their life cycles. That's probably something David could help us with.  A little hummer moth has been hanging out at one of the butterfly bushes. I love to watch him.  Have you ever seen them? They're like little miniature hummers. AND. A monarch stopped by today. That was exciting. I haven't seen one in forever.

 I managed to get a few shots of both.


 



AND

The HH and I are both entranced by the casing of the hibiscus's flower.  Okay, entranced might be too strong a term for the HH's interest. But he did ask about it:) 


 

I can't believe the white Irises are still blooming. The poor things are so confused. Nonetheless, I'm enjoying them.


 And froggy continues to hold his own against the encroaching Asian Jasmine.
That's it for now, Blogger Buds. What's going on in your neck of the woods.

LOL on the lotto and New York Times bestseller list. Your photos are gorgeous, as usual. I love the closeups of the butterfly.
