Sometimes they just won’t pose….

I chased this Gulf Fritillary (Argraulis vanillae) all over the garden.

Between the rain storms….

Zoomed in.

Whatever…

It wasn’t happening…

bad hair day?

But……

sometimes they like to be show offs….

Zebra Longwing (Heliconius charithonia)

and the Plumeria can always be counted upon….

the Hostas like to show off,too….

I’m so ready for Fall,

…..and the dry season……

You?

The weather outside is……..

……delightful…..

Low 80’s,sunny,breezy,low humidity….

Perfect for getting out there.

Weeding.

Getting the garden back in order.

So,with gloves on,clippers in hand,I set out to make this garden ship-shape.

 

However,I,also,had the camera with me……

 

……and my ADHD kicked in…..

 

very little weeding got done…..
