I’m opening this week’s post with a close up of a sunflower in my front yard. I absolutely love them and all the pollinators they attract. I took the first photo before the rain came in and the second after. It’s been raining on and off for the last 2 days and when it’s raining, the pollinators are usually nowhere to be seen but it also gives me an opportunity to get closers without having to worried about getting stung by Mr. Bee.
My favorite photo this week has to be this photo – Mr. Grasshopper doing yoga under my shade cloth. Since last year, I have been noticing quite a few of these guys in my garden. I haven’t determine whether they are good or evil, yet as I haven’t seen much damage done by them. I guess I’ll let it be for now.
