I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.


I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

Backyard Visitors

A Hummingbird Clearwing Moth in my Butterfly bush.


Same Clearwing Moth, just a bit closer.  You can see he is an older moth as he is missing many scales and some fur from his body.  


I believe this is a young female hummingbird on my Salvia.  she does not have all of her green back and head feathers in yet.  The white tips on the tail mark it as a female.





This handsome Bullfrog was sitting in the sun so nicely, I just had to share his photo.


This is an adult female hummingbird getting nectar from my verbenas.  You can see how much more colorful she is compared to the earlier young bird.
