You never know what will turn up when you are having fun in the backyard.

Nice images. Butterflies are scarce in our garden this year.
Yes. They seem to be far fewer here this year as well. Normally, beds are covered in frenzied activity. I am in southern Kentucky.
Thank you all. This is my favorite time of year.

Thanks. It is. We have lots of them here.
Just a few of the visitors to my garden.
Thank you to each of you for the comments.

Bill agree with God's artistry and your wonderful images.
Please tell me how you did the images through a glass ball?
Pretty simple really. The balls are available on the internet. I have several of differing shapes and sizes from yard sales. I just put the globe on a pedestal, focus on the image in the ball and shoot paying attention to the overall image composition and content.

Never less than thrilled with God's artistry
Amazing structure. There is beauty in the small things if you take the time to look. This is a tight crop from a D750 and 24-120 Nikkor.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I replaced the battery with a fresh one. The machine is shut down unless being used and always plugged in unless there is a storm. The only external peripheral devices are a web cam, speakers, a USB drive, a monitor calibration device and the monitors. The problem takes too long to manifest to determine if any of those are at fault. For now I'll keep a spare battery and see what happens in a few months unless the world collapses by then.
My computer's motherboard battery (2032) died again. The result is that the machine will not turn on. Replace the battery and all is good. This is the second time within a year. Something must be draining it. Anyone have an idea?
