Sunday morning...

Before the clouds moved in and the sickness hit me I managed to take the Macro outside and play around...I love my Macro lens but since I've bought the 300mm lens I don't play with it much. Wildflower season is coming up, if there are any and I thought it was time to get out the Macro and see what I could remember...

 

 

The Pipevine swallowtails were all over the Jasmine...some of them even seem to have lost their head!

Butterfly bush is blooming too...

 

~

Not just swallowtails were in the Jasmine...I even spotted a Spinx moth out in mid-morning enjoying the Jasmine blooms! The one above is a skipper butterfly.

I'm not perfect and I don't always get a great photo of the butterflies, they're fast!

 

~

The bees were out too and the sugar ants were in the Jasmine too.

 

~

Sulphur butterflies were enjoying the Jasmine too but they're a bit more skittish and harder to photograph.

 

~

 

I spotted this Admiral butterfly in the greenery of the garden, not hard to spot and so beautiful.

 

~

I swear the bees were drunk on nectar...

 

~

After they'd come out of a flower they'd hang on for a few seconds to get their bearings...

 

~

Bottoms up!

 

~

 This is my favorite photo from the day...This bumble bee was slightly upset that this Jasmine bloom was NOT open!! He tried and tried and then just buzzed and hung around!! How dare that Jasmine bloom not open up for him Right NOW!!

Today I'm spending most of the day in bed, listening to the wind blow...
