Meadow and More Meadow

Meadow madness. This is a critter's view of the meadow, not the one we humans usually see.
This hummingbird clearwing moth is a day-flying moth that hovers at flowers to drink the nectar.

Honey bee on a black-eyed Susan. Someone said we don't have any bees, but we do have bees, and we certainly have many more with the meadow than we had with the lawn. Perhaps next year we will have even more.

Grasses in a cicle. I have a trial version of the new Paint Shop Pro X2, and I was playing with it today. Should I keep it?

Keep it only if you plan to go into art. It is pretty, but not very illuminating. Jess

The picture of the hummingbird Clearwing Moth is fantastic. What is the song sparrow perched on? Jeanetta

In regard to bees, perhaps we should consider establishing our own apiary for self interest and also to assist in the pollination of local food plants.

Do we have a beekeeper in our midst?

The song sparrow is on the bird house.
