Wildlife Wednesday May 2016

The first Wednesday of each month means it's time to gather up photos of wildlife in the garden to share for Wildlife Wednesday hosted by Tina at "My Gardener Says...."

When I began gathering photos for Wildlife Wednesday I thought there wouldn't be a lot for the past month.  I surprised myself with how many different things there are to share.

A bumblebee working a Larkspur flower.  I'm often surprised at the popularity of non-native flowers in my garden.  I enjoy a chance to see the detailed markings in photos.  And this guy really is as big as he looks.  Texas-sized bee.

Wildlife Wednesday June 2015

Our record-setting spring rains have brought out the wildlife in numbers I haven't experienced in the seven years since I began gardening on our piece of the suburbs.  Presenting just a few of the wildlife visitors over the last few weeks for Wildlife Wednesday hosted by Tina at "My Gardener Says..."

Every visit to the garden these days brings on a rustle of scurrying, slithering, and flitting.  We've been seeing more snakes than usual with the Checkered Garter Snake most often spotted.
