So tiny. So cute.

🕷️🎃🏚️

One of my favorite plants on the trail! I recently successfully transplanted one, and cannot wait for it to grow on my property. I loved the gradient berries on this one. In order to get this photo, JP had to hold my backpack so I wouldn't fall over the ledge. (I would have survived, but wouldn't have been happy had I fallen.)

Mantids are the only insects who can "look over their shoulder".

See? I think they all wait for me to come outside. 😆

Testing out places to place my bird buddy pole. This place looks good. What do you think? 😂

Likely, she's obtaining salts or something off of the window, but hey, she sure made a wonderful model. 📸🐝

Spy my hibiscus in the window. 😍

We celebrated a few August birthdays this weekend, and made sure EVERYONE was festive! 🥳

I wanted a water feature added to the landscaping for the pollinators, as well as for the sound. 🤍 It's in the front of the house, and the honeybees fly over the house to the back where the hives are. I could watch them all day. They're drinking water off of a "wishing rock".

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a bumblebee? 🤍🐝

The second hive was MAD that we were looking at their honey stores though, and they were literally pelting us, and I pulled a few stingers out of my gloves. I have only duct tape covering some holes in my veil, so it was a bit stressful. 😆
