Bob, looks like all your work was worth it.... beautiful shots of very happy butterflies!!
And now you can sit back and watch them flutter about!!

Thanks for visiting, Angela! Unfortunately, The pressing needs of a garden rarely allow for sitting...weeding, dead-heading, watering, fertilizing, and encouraging these first-year perennials to establish themselves consume lots of time and effort. It is rewarding work, however. It is always rewarding when the creatures show their trust of you by ignoring your presence. I tell myself that when I plop down in the chair among their dining room, that the camera justifies it!

Thanks for visiting and commenting, Angela!

Excellent captures !

Many thanks, Sundar! One of the beauties of a garden is it's determination to re-grow in following years. The amazing thing to me is that, in the garden, you get to witness the natural activities of the plants and creatures that are designed to perpetuate their existence.

Bob, excellent set.

Thanks, Greg! I guess that your weekend is about as wet and dreary as ours...an overcast day with light rain often produces some fine lighting conditions for those special shots! Hope you're feeling well!

Beautifully done, Bob! You can come to my house and pull weeds so I can have my garden back! You did a great job of refurbishing your garden.

Thanks, Corolyn for your nice remarks. As for the invite, medical rules prevent my traveling so, as much as I would like to, I will have to decline your invitation to come pull your weeds! Glad you are up to taking some shots of your fine garden!

Always enjoy, and appreciate, your visits! There have been quite a few more than I have posted and I am building up a large backlog of edited and unedited shots.

I hope the remnants of Harvie have passed beyond you by now and that you are enjoying a nice weekend!

I plant most of my perennials in half barrel pots, it cuts down on weeding big time! But you know what they say about pernnials..... the first year they sleep, the next year they creep and the next year they leap!!! You and your garden creatures will be enjoying your perennials for a long time!!
