Pics of the Weekend

Blessed with sunny days on the porch and in the garden, and a weekend of porch time to capture the action all around. Enjoy this weekend's offering.

 This Ruby-throated hummer showed up in the yard this week. I dubbed him the 'Super-sonic Ruby', for his speed, and his ability to harass every feeder in the yard and garden at one time.

 The Tiger Swallowtail was active in the zinnias on Saturday.



 Late sun on Saturday, and this one escaped 'Super-sonic Ruby' to get a sip.


 Early sunlight on Sunday, and the two Yellow-crowned Night Herons were trolling the edge of the pond. Caught this one in mid-stride.

 He never spent any time at the feeders or flowers, but I did catch him taking a breather. Actually, he's just diligently watching each feeder.

 The Gulf Fritillary on a forlorn zinnia. Don't know what got the petals.

 Fritillary with landing gear down.


 My Sunday treat; the Sulfur butterfly showed up for the first time this season.



And we wrap it up with 'yaller on yaller'.
