Cee remarked on loving my garden, so here is a view of some of it for her. If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and some have captions.
Some denizens of my garden are fauna, not flora. This colorful insect is a large cow-killer ant (actually a female wingless wasp with a very painful bite, thus the name.)
More insects. This on a walking stick.
This little guy rapped loudly on some tree in the neighborhood until I finally went out to see where he was. But, the minute I went out the door, he would freeze.Finally, however, I caught him doing his business, whereupon he promptly flew away and has not returned. Here he is eighty feet up in the tree.
Had to resurrect my Canon camera with an 80X lens to get these closeups.
For Cee’s FOTD

I certainly spend more time there than I did before Covid. And, thanks to you, I have a reason to go down there most days to snap something for FOTD.

Judy,
What beautiful surroundings to live in. I would be rejoicing every day and praising God for the beauty of the flowers and for creating the world in colors.
