@mayjay Glad everyone is enjoying. I want to see some of you guy's photos though. It gives me a break from all the craziness in our world. The girls and I watched better than a dozen hummers last night before I put their feeders away. I have stood near where they feed holding a feeder in my hand and extending my arm and they will come to me and feed. I can really hear the buzzing when doing that. Last night Hattie was laying on the bench watching us watch the hummers.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 I wanted to add some pics but couldn't find a link to add a pcture. In ages past, it was in the part of the menu bar accessed by scrolling to the right. Linking text or a url doesn't work because my pics are neither, just jpg's on my phone.
Am I missing something, @approxinfinity ? 🤨

When you are composing your words, look below the box and you will see a "download" icon. Click on that and then go your photo, hit copy and then go back and paste it in. Easy Peasy!!!!

Thanks so much! I'll look for some pictures and give it a try. Got an irrigation assignment now from my wife, the Master Gardener. (I guess that's how she learned that Lantana won't water itself!)

Today's photo captures "contrast." Caught this guy hanging out on the ground around some of the wild iris. Some kind of moth. Never looked him up.

Today's photo shows what is known as a "wildflower prairie" in my backyard that was sown with this specific seed (Mexican Hat) at least 15 years ago, back when Mike was mowing everything with his new Kubota tractor (a man thing I know). He also plotted out a clover field for the deer. When we have a wet winter, the moisture ensures that these beauties come back year after year. I have seen years where there is a carpet of them and then some years just enough in a group to continue the blooming. The bees love them.

Here's a better close up from TX Highways

Today's photo is of a banana spider and her web which she built on the outside of my solarium fixed door over many days last year. It was attached to the frame of my sliding door so everytime I went out the door, the web would stretch and then later it would all be back to normal. She left her egg pod hanging from the eaves of the solarium last fall but have yet to see any new babies trickling out. Isn't the web intricate and mesmerizing? Wonders of nature! We watched her get the flies and gnats and occasional moth. She was quick to lasso her prey.
