This morning while Michael was resting (watching cartoons) I needed some peace and quiet...as you all know I'm not to fond of blaring tv's...ugh!!
I took the camera outside to get some photos of the flowers that are blooming for my Mother and I couldn't help but notice all the birds coming in for breakfast...
The tufted tit mouses are here almost every morning...
I even managed to get a photo of our elusive Carolina Chickadee...They were having fun on the Crepe Myrtle and I was laughing as they were hanging upside down and doing all types of acrobats...silly birds!
Now on to the flowers...above is one of the types of Lantana I have and it's in full bloooom! Looks beautiful!
I had some morning glories come up from seed and I'm just stunned at how rich their blues are...
The Lantana again just so you can see how well they are doing right now...
The Plumbago is once again taking over...
Another type of Lantana...This is one Mom and I planted this past spring by the front porch and it really took off...It's growing up and over the sidewalk but I like it...Fred said Mom and I really need to stop planting monsters, lol.
Lantana with Plumbago in the background....
Mexican firebush...
Same photo but this time I focused on the Wild Texas Mum in the foreground....The hummingbirds are loving the Mexican firebush...
Speaking of Hummingbirds there were a bunch of them this morning...
Looks like it is almost time to get the third hummingbird feeder out...I've got a few territorial males that won't let the others eat and I hate that...I try to spread 3 feeders out over the yard so everyone gets some!That was basically my morning in photos...I enjoyed myself!!

Just love your photos. Always inspire me! You'll be happy to know things are finally turning brown here. I've even seen some trees here and there starting to turn. ;D I bet they are turning in the mountains! TFS!
Hi Wendy,
Wow beautiful... Marvelous, I was jealous of the tufted tit mouse picture because I've never seen one, but then I scrolled down and see the others, especially the humming bird that you still have around... Lucky you to see this guy (ok you could say, Chris, lucky you to see loons or whatsoever ;-). These are beautiful birds shots Wendy well done. Our flowers are almost all dead, cause temperature does not exceed 11 degrees now, and it is getting dark again...
Breathtaking photos!!!!!! Which lens did you use??? You always snap the most amazing nature photos!!!
Love the photos! I've added you to my blog list.
Beautiful photos, especially of the flowers! I could learn a lot from you as I always seem to struggle with that!!
