More Butterflies


The patch of Black-Eyed Susans outside our greenhouse door had a host of small butterflies visiting. 


Fritillaries of some sort? I can't be sure.



I sat on the steps with my camera and as I was snapping away, a hummingbird grazed my shoulder, on her way to sip from a nasturtium blooming in the pot beside me.


Alas, I couldn't try for her picture--if I'd moved, she'd have darted away. But it was nice to hear her humming there beside me.

Nice experience with the hummer. They are wonderful little creatures. I haven't seen one for awhile.
