Hi PhotoFriends,
You all visited my garden this past Thursday and I still haven’t given up sitting and waiting at my window when time permits. Right now the weather has been staying beautiful and my garden has been so very exciting BUT so overwhelming with not enough hours in the day to photograph all that is calling out my name to take a picture of them, whether it’s a flower or a walking or flying critter! Its been a challenge  but well worth it in the end.  Regarding my Hummingbirds, it is amazing how a photographer can sit for days on end waiting  and then when you get just a couple of good photos you look back and say those long hours really were worth it to get just a couple 
Let’s see what my Hummingbird has to say today…

Since I have your attention, I want to look up and wish you all a Very Happy  Day! And sending you vibes that you all will be seeing lots of cute Hummingbirds like me in your garden to photograph!

Viceroy Butterfly (1 of 2)
As I made my garden rounds this morning, I was amazed there were two orange Viceroy's enjoying my Very Tall Cup Plant. They were at the tipity top! It was strange to me that they show up when all their yellow flowers have fallen off the plant. Good thing I didn’t deadhead the finished buds, now I know to keep them on the plant for them to come and enjoy at the end of Summer time I am a very HAPPY Gardener today seeing the Viceroys!
Oh I haven’t shared this that my critters are all well behaved  I told my butterfly to look in the camera and say cheese to you all at FM! Didn’t she do GOOD??

Your SURPRISE Critter …
Last weekend, we pulled out our dozen basil plants and put them in our kitchen sink washing them to make batches of Pesto to freeze! As I was washing my basil, I found three tiny white fluffy cute critters! I guess not so nice  since they eat basil! So you know the photographers eye drill? You can’t just take its picture? You need a nice background…so I found one
I thought this white fuzzy creature was so pretty.  - So I had to take its picture and share it with you all!!

Well it’s hard to believe September is just around the corner. My autumn garden perennial clean up will soon begin. Imagine all my perennials have to be cut and bagged? 
If you get tired of photographing and need a break come help me clean my garden
Take care and see you soon…..
Hope you enjoyed my story and another stroll through my garden checking out all my critters and my flowers!
