  Had a lovely visitor to the garden the other day👇. Haven't posted much lately. Been really busy, my big lens in on the fritz, & I'm getting ready for back surgery this fall so my posts/replies will be sporadic. #insects #butterflies #wildlife #nature #MacroPhotography #photography #AltText

  Never used my Instagram account (20 posts, 2 followers) b/c it was just a place holder for my handle. Got it during the period when a lot of photographers were leaving Instagram for pre-Musk Twitter b/c Zuckerberg, who hasn't had an original idea since he decided to rate female students that would never date a weirdo like him in a million years, decided to make Instagram the "new" TicTok. I'd like to think my deleting my Instagram account yesterday contributed...

  Bee balm just bloomed behind the coneflowers. Green plants in front/back of the bee balm are sky blue/purple New England asters that should start blooming next mo. Cup plants doing well & towering @~5-6ft (1-2m). #flowers #BloomScrolling #gardening #nature #NaturePhotography #photography #AltText

  The flowers are attracting the bumbles in larger #'s. This is my favorite time of the year in the garden when the blooms bring in bunches of bugs 👍. #bees #insects #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography #photography #AltText

  There's sort of a mental vignetting that occurs whenever I take a photograph. My thoughts disperse to the periphery, my anxieties and heart rate lesson, I breath deeply but without effort, & my racing mind gets a chance to rest. #flowers #nature #gardening #BloomScrolling #photography #AltText

  I've several catalogs of pics I've taken since '21. I often browse thru them for favorites I'd like to repost. Sometimes I find a surprise like a folder of unedited peachy-pink lily pics from '24. #flowers #BloomScrolling #nature #NaturePhotography #gardening #Photography #AltText

  I started this wildflower garden from seed about 3 yrs ago. Scattered seeds in patches but had some happy accidents like this yellow coneflower popping up amid the purple coneflowers & the random prairie blazing star stalk in the foreground. #BloomScrolling #nature #photography #AltText

  Every time I see a groundhog (aka woodchuck) I'm unable to take pics b/c I'm either on my bike on the way someway or w/o my camera. Was on the bike yesterday but had my camera so I decided to stop and end the vicious cycle, 😉. #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #photography #AltText

  Lot of pink magnolias around town but not many yellow. I've one nearby but it's small & its blooms brown before opening. Happy to find this one in its prime earlier this month but it's on the other side of town so I don't catch it every yr. #flowers #BloomScrolling #nature #photography #AltText

  What appears to be a native plum but I couldn't specify the species using an ID app. From a cute little stand of ~15 of these small, mostly single trunks along a section Mormon Handcart trail. #flowers #FlowerPhotography #BloomScrolling #nature #NaturePhotography #AltText
