  4. Oh my goodness but your flowers and your feathered friends are all lovely. A couple of bloggers have those lovely Mexican Sunflowers, but our nurseries don’t sell them. I tried them from seed a couple of years ago, but they didn’t take. I think they are gorgeous so I’m glad you shared them. Lovely, bright photos. 🙂

  13. Pictures and flowers are beautiful… I too, have found butterflies and serendipitous thoughts in my garden. The close up of your butterflies are really breathtaking. Nature at its marvellous best here.

  14. Great bird photos – especially the painted bunting. We lived on St. Simons Island for 3 years and I never saw one of these. For me, this area was a birdwatcher’s paradise: sea, marsh, and land birds provided a great variety. ~James

    1. Thank you! I agree. I agree with you about the area being a birdwatcher’s paradise. There are many places to see birds all up and down the Georgia coast. We lived on St. Simons many years ago before moving a little farther up the Georgia coast. The buntings are not only beautiful to look at but entertaining to watch.
