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

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).

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

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 to this👇

@draygon@furry.engineer They're pretty low key. When the crow murders gather together in winter you can come across a group of 50-100 in one tree. I love crows but it really feels like a scene from Hitchcocks "The Birds". Very spooky!

@nuwagaba2@mastodon.social The plants wee seeded 3 yrs ago but they didn't flower until this year. Some of our native plants require 2-3 years of growth before blooming.

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

@bobfisherphoto@mastodon.social Thank you! They have amazing personalities and they are great at striking poses. It was a very odd flashing of its tail so it was hard to tell but it looks like a male so it may have been flashing its tail to females or to ward off other males.

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.

Violets are native here/ubiquitous. I cleared out an area out back to plant w/ native plants but left these in place. Seem to be thriving after cleaning out competitors like creeping Charlie 👍.

Managed to get a violet successfully transplanted from out back & into the main garden. It's doing quite well and hopefully I can get more to spread. Such a lovely spring flower/plant.
