Summer Close-out, Vol. II

Too many pics to go through, so let's just keep goin'!

 Gulf Fritillary butterfly on a matching zinnia.

 Cracked glass gives the hummer a pink glow.

So excited that the coral vine took off and started blooming for us. And when the hummers found it, that was a real bonus!

 A little symmetry at the office deck feeder.

This sunny day the hummers were showing their shimmering green.

Immature male Ruby-throated hummer.

Bring on the sun!

 Don't know his genus, just a green lizard enjoying the offerings of the morning glory vine before it was removed from the porch rail.

 Blue Gray Gnat Catcher in the Lady Banks rose.

 And in the coral vine.

 Plumbago blue.

 Tiger swallowtail always at the zinnias.


 A rare treat, two-fer at the feeder.


 Got the orange glow goin'.


 And the pink glow.


 Mexican sage bush is popular as they prepare to head south.

 Just a little ruby there on his throat.


Rare to get the tiger swallowtail on the sage.

 At the office deck feeder, showin' all his ruby throat.

And we close out our summer offering with some of our year-round regulars, the Carolina Chickadee. We have been so blessed this summer season with the birds and the blooms. But Autumn offers its own delights. Stay tuned!
