My butterfly garden is full of colorful blooms and the butterflies are starting to take notice.
The birds continue to come by daily.
Happy Summer!

Wandering Wednesday – Water
I have lived within a few miles of the Atlantic Ocean for most of my life. A dock connects our back yard to a tidal creek.
At low tide, there’s just a trickle of water in the creek.
During the low tide, wading birds walk along the creek bed searching for food.
When the tide is high, it’s a different world.
At the mouth of the creek we enter a river and explore the coastal waters.
And during the summer, when the tide is just right, we can catch fresh blue crabs for supper.
This post was inspired by Ingrid’s Wandering Wednesday.
Five Years of My Favorite Photos
During the five years I’ve been blogging I’ve posted hundreds of photos. Here are just a few of my all-time favorites .
Painted Bunting on Twisted Vines
Many birds like to perch on the twisted vines covering the arbor in my back yard. This week I was able to capture this Painted Bunting.
This week in my Butterfly Garden
I’ve been digging in the dirt a lot lately trying to get my butterfly garden in shape after flooding from Hurricane Irma killed most of the plants last fall.
A few of the new plants are starting to bloom. The zinnias I planted from seed this winter are bursting with color.
The new milkweed plants attracted their first Monarch of the season this week.
The hummingbirds and Painted Buntings have been stopping by the feeders.
This lizard was trying to drink the hummingbird nectar.
Happy spring!
