Exploration in the yard

Pink lilies among the trunk of a Mimosa tree.

The other night I went out into my approximately 1 acre yard and made some discoveries. The flowers above.

Been seeing several blue buntings eating top tufts of grasses most people would call weedshttp://www.greglasley.net/bluebunting.html

The bird photo came from the link I added. My camera is cheap. The flower and the next photo is my own.

The prettiest toadstools I have ever laid eyes on: Red and yellow cluster..

Light purple Phlox growing in concrete slab behind and in our house corner. Amazing.

I keep hoping as far as the phlox goes that I would see one of these:

The link goes to a page of moth of this type images and you can find it and goes to the site since I could not get a link actually to the site for some odd reason.

In the desert area I lived in- in WA state, we saw these every summer evening in my big patch of pale pink phlox. I need to study and find if there are actually any here. Wonderful happy pretty little creatures like a humming bird crossed with a moth.About this Moth Wikipedia.

Always new things in the yard to see. Now go explore you yard , trail or park.
