Bee Butts and Butterflies!

I managed a few photos this evening...
 
 
 
Nice to see some bees. Our bee population is almost non-existent so I was excited to see a few this evening...

They weren't cooperating for the camera so no pretty poses
 
 

On our West fence row I spotted these Pipe-vine Swallowtails breeding, cool!
 
 

And on our Red Oak tree I always manage to find a few butterfly chrysalis hanging!
 
 
It was rather a quiet evening at the property until the bullets started flying. I had just finished walking the West fence line and had sat down on the steps of the deck when projectiles from the West side of our property starting flying at me...I could hear them whizzing by and thunking into wood as I took cover! I was terrified and started Screaming and Cussing for them to stop Shooting!! They must have heard me and stopped, thank you God!! There is no one on the property to the West but further West there is a road with houses and I am sure that is where they were coming from...I ended up calling the Sheriffs Dept and they sent out a deputy and Game Warden. I haven't heard anything so not sure if they found out who was shooting, I highly doubt it. I don't have much faith in our sheriff dept or Game Wardens. Fred came down and we looked to see if we could find where they had hit but didn't see anything. I'm glad they missed me, the jeep and the pool and I told Fred God was watching out for me as they were flying and going everywhere! I am amazed at how stupid and ignorant people are though, you would think before you start target practicing you would know what is around you!! Idiot People!! I am also thankful Michael was not down there with me tonight. I guess I know how a deer feels now too, it wasn't fun!

I'm so glad you are safe. It could have been the other way around. Yes some people are very stupid with guns, but they will probably get away with it.

Yes Paula you are correct and yes they are going to get away with it.
