Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

I haven’t done the morning dawn clouds for some time as the sun has been getting up earlier than I have. I did notice some colors this morning and shot some pictures before the colors faded. I noticed that the deer found the flowering Yucca plants, and pretty much ate all of the flowers. ARRG!. I have a new high-resolution DSLR camera to test — used for the first time on today’s walkabout for flowers and frogs.

Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

The Yucca flowers are mostly open. I hope to see the large white moth that visits them when the moon is full. Many years they don’t get this far, because the deer consider the flowers a delicacy. Each day that the sun is warm a new set of  yellow Prickly Pear flowers open. The bees really like these flowers. Other flowers blooming include Day Lilies, Red Poppies, and Nasturium.
