Up To His . . . In Pollen

Pollinator Extraordinaire 

Num, num, num . . .

The Sedum blossoms were attracting a bunch of insects yesterday that were oblivious to my presence.

Photobombed!

I was trying to get a good shot of the butterfly (unsuccessfully) when he got photobombed by a bumblebee.

Bugs in the Garden

Last Call

I usually think of this as a springtime shot, but temperatures in the high 60's have these survivors and other insects out for one last sip before the cold weather really sets in (if central Alabama weather could ever really be considered "cold").

More Backyard Wildlife

My blog has seemed pretty slow to load lately, so I'm trying a new way to get the larger images without going through flickr. The blog image seems just as large and clear as going through flickr, but when you click it, the resultant image is not quite as large. I think it will be faster though.

The bumblebees are busy doing their thing, pollinating everything in site. This is one of the clearest shots of one of these guys I've ever gotten.

Meanwhile this dove was just chillin' out on top of the swing, surveying the world and gettin' some rays.
