Just a walk down the driveway and around the yard...

Sit back and enjoy my walk with me...

Buckeye

Do you know what a group of butterflies is called, I didn't, but I do now...it's called a Rabble.

Prickly Pear Cactus bloom

I saw this track on top of my tire tracks from earlier...I immediately thought uh oh snake and started looking around...But then I looked at it better and I think perhaps it was a large scaly lizard and not a snake...the tracks were on the sand for about a distance of 10ft before they disappeared.

Two different species of Sulphur butterflies

~

He is just starting to get his antlers and he was not paying attention. I snapped a few photos and watched him for awhile before he finally spotted me standing in the middle of the driveway. I spooked him and he shot up in the air a couple of feet before he found his footing and took off. I think this buck might pay better attention next time.

I love Daisy's

~

Did you know they are members of the Aster family?

Hover fly

Oh my goodness the bees...while walking that is all I could hear was the continous drone of thousands of bees. The bees are happy! Very happy!

Momma cow

~

Her Bull calf from last year. And yes he is still with his Momma.

(These are not our cows, just wanted to note that.)

~

Caterpillars that a couple years ago Michael and I tried to raise, we didn't have much luck with them. We also have not been able to identify them either. After a week or two they shed and turn black. Now we leave them outside and just watch.

~

One of the few remaining red roses, it's been a great year for roses.

~

And here is the caterpillar in it's adult stage. I think at one time I might have thought they were Sphinx moths but I'm not positive on that identification.

I had a nice walk, the sun was out and it was a gorgeous evening.
