This is the Northern Broken-Dash, a kind of butterfly known as "skipper" that looks half moth and half grasshopper.

Mr. Cardinal loves his perch in the apple tree. It gives him the best view of the yard and the best place to preen.

Even Mr. Cardinal gets frizzy on drizzly, breezy days like today.

A monarch butterfly was *really* enjoying our butterfly bush flowers today, despite a persistent wind. Wondering if she was in the middle of her migration south?

As Autumn approaches and the leaves start to fall, it is fun to see some of our bird friends becoming visible in the tree branches again.

Who wants to break it to Mr. Cardinal that his hide-and-seek skills leave something to be desired? ;-)

I work so hard to create a beautiful garden, and then nature shows me up with a gorgeous wild magenta portulaca bloom! :-D
