Antics and acrobatics

. . . right outside our door. This week we only had to walk into the yard to find some fun, photogenic critters. As I planted my garden in the backyard, I included lots of plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Over the past year we have had plenty of butterflies. Finally, this month, we have at least one hummingbird (which we call Mrs. Squeak) as a regular visitor. I love it when a plan comes together!

We also had a juvenile Little Blue Heron and his friend, a Cattle Egret, preening on top of my truck. To see these guys and a few more pics from this week around the ‘hood, click here.
