So sorry, Angela and one day while I was talking on the phone with Phil about sources of mealworms for the Bluebirds and jelly for the Orioles a beautiful Oriole landed on our dogwood tree and started feeding. He very much wanted one to pay them a visit and I was so happy for him when I believe the next season one paid them a visit and stuck around for some time. I talked to him on the phone a few times along with some great conversations on the hog and will really miss conversing with him! He was a really nice person and feel very sorry for his family! Ellen had not seen your message today, but she had been on just a little today as we have been potting some flowers that we should have done weeks ago and then spent several hours attempting to catch several little lizards that had decided to set up home in the sunroom. I was finally able to escort one out, but at least two others are still on the loose!! By the time I found time to water the flowers a number had wilted but they recovered by late afternoon. I did take a time out to grab a few shots of a Greater Fritillary and was the first one that I've seen since the Spring in which we planted the perennial garden and think that I posted that one, as it's a very very beautiful butterfly! I think if we can endure one more very hot day that we should have some relief Friday, and earlier heard as I was watching the Nationals, Phillies game that the temperature in Philly today was 97 degrees! Take care and the Hycianth bean vine on the deck has reached our hanging fern basket under the overhang and is still going up!! Take care and hope that all of us have a cooler weekend!

Hi Corky... I knew you'd want to know. I've been thinking of him lately and had noticed he wasn't posting on facebook, so I went to his page and read his daughters post.... I started crying. It's amazing how strong a bond you get with people with the same interests... like photography, gardening and of course animals. I will miss him dearly.

Today will be another hot one, but they say the temps will drop and we might get some rain tomorrow. This has been a fast summer, but I can't complain, my garden this year did great... as did the Monarchs!!
Hope you find those other two lizards soon, so they can go outside where they belong! lol.....
Glad to hear the bean vine is doing great... so is mine! I'm seeing the pods now but they still have a long way to go before I can harvest them... and then share the seeds!

Take care and enjoy the end of August!!!

Amazing capture, Angela! I still miss you.


Awww... thanks, Mike.... I miss you as well. One day I might be back, when they add more hours to a day or I'm not so busy.
Take care, my friend and glad you liked this shot!! As of this morning, 10 in chrysalis and a ton of cats still running around!

Good on ya!
There was a pic on Facebook a couple days ago where multiple thousands of monarchs were “staging” on Tawas point waiting to cross the bay in less windy conditions.


Thanks Bruce... I would have loved to see that picture!! This was a record year in my garden and on LI... I've never seen so many, but I know that's not the same story in other states.

This is great that you are raising these Monarchs! Are you tagging them as well? Citizen scientists provide a lot of data to further help the Monarchs. Check out

https://monarchwatch.org/tagging/

There are YouTube videos to watch. I just tagged my 1st Monarch 2 days ago. It's very easy.
Great picture!


Thanks, birder, for your visit and comment.... I never ordered the tagging kit last year, wish I did.... I'll try to remember for next year!! I still have approx. 20 more to go!! We've been very blessed on Long Island with seeing them all over, this year.... and I see them daily in my garden!!

...and thanks for the link and good luck with your Monarchs!!!!

These creatures need all of the help that they can get. We live along the Bay shore near Door County Wisconsin. We let the milkweed grow along the shore and have had quite a few of these Monarchs.


Thanks, Jerry... that's awesome that the milkweed grows wild by you, we have it here on the sides of the road, but fear with the aerial pesticide spraying that does more harm than good.... that's why I plant my own and take them inside my house until they emerge and are safe to fly off!!

And you are so right, they do need all the help they can get!!!

You're doing such good work with these, Angela. And good photography also! I cannot imagine the amount of leaves you have to cut every day!


Thanks Kathy!!! It's amazing how much they can eat!! Last night I ran out and took about 8 big leaves, for their evening meal... by morning, nothing but poop all over!!!
Since I'm not home today, I put in about 20 leaves this morning, hope that satisfies them until I get home... then they should be ready to J-Hook!!
