A few shots

Black Carpenter Bee carrying lots of pollen. (flower: Gaillardia)




Gulf fritillary on Zinnia






Leafcutter Bee on Sunflower cultivar (also with lots of pollen)




Leafcutter on Marigold (again with the pollen)




Teeny-tiny Green Jumper




Frog pond (frogs off doing other things - have 3 small ones that visit)




Cicada




Hosta blooming




Brown Anole (they bully green anoles - I also have green anoles, but they tend to hide when the brown ones are about)





All done. Thanks for viewing!

Haven't seen you around lately. Either just passing ships in the night or ?

Anyway, I hope you are well and enjoying the summer so far!

I wanted the contrast, but the butterfly had different ideas.

Thanks!

27. The orange butterfly and the zinnia?

Is that a zinnia? The camouflage effect is really remarkable - whatever kind of flower that is.

Just totally remarkable, Solly Mack!

ALL of these are terrific shots, btw. Thank you for posting them so we can enjoy the eye-feast!
