Beautiful photos Char and Asa.

Christine, I don't think I've ever seen flies doing that

More on dandelions - geeeeeez............

Oops wrong thread. I need to get better camera, this picture of a mourning cloak from my garden recently.

Wow! That's huge!

I've had a good variety of butterflies here but they refuse to let me take a photo. I think they got tired of my junk last year.

I came across two male Green Anoles fighting today, they are very territorial especially during mating season. While at the local Lowes my wife and I were looking at the flowers and the Brown Anole was getting some sun. I have seen more and more Brown anoles showing up in the area (south Louisiana). They are brought in with the nursery plants. If we have a cold winter they may not make it; although they could be getting acclimated. The Brown anole is much faster than the Green.

Finally! A painted lady held still long enough to get a picture. (Not that it's a particularly good one) The fritillaries and swallowtails are still being uncooperative.

John that is a great catch of the green Anoles

Lady bug on my corns.

Some leopard slugs we found a couple weeks ago.

I was going to drink my morning coffee in my deck chair but somebody was already in it.

How cute, Will.

Those are some ugly slugs!

Pretty corn. It's always nice to see the ladybugs.

Oh my, those slugs

Found this guy in my office (a barn )

Probably a grey tree frog but I've never seen this particular color phase before but they change pigment freely.
Also share my work area with wrens and pair of cardinals with a baby who will be getting its flight feathers soon. He's a rather tattered looking kid but his crest looks pretty punk rock. Couldn't get a picture because it hangs out up amongst the rafters.

How cute!

Frogs, ladybugs and slugs...all in a gardeners day.

This isn't really a good frog in FL but we have lots of them Cuban Tree Frog

I don't think he approves. What a judgmental expression!

Still a bit cold here for the bees, but warming up. Living in a condo, we don't have too much for the pollinators, but I have an end unit and have been planting the last few years for them - have made great progress for the bees. Now working hard for the butterflies - in my limited space. Some forward thinking person found a small area by our parking lot and planted milk thistle - and the condo complex has left it alone - I think the grounds crew does not know if that area belongs to us or the adjoining company - a plus for the bees and finches who LOVE it.

Guerrilla gardening at its finest!

I found a bee in my Logan fruit tree. But not very clear though. This plant is blooming profusely. It didn't stay still for picture.
