Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

The second set of images for today. Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly, Hummingbird Clearwing moth, Praying Mantis (that just missed catching a Hummingbird Clearwing moth for Lunch), and a Bee. They were all attracted to the Thistle flowers. I missed most of the butterfly and clearwing butterfly moth season while having my cataract surgery. My eyes are healing, I am seeing better, and now finally getting used to being out in the sun (with wrap-around sunglasses).

Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

There will be two sets images for today. The first group will be some very small wildflowers, a grass seed head, and thistle flowers. My eyes are healing after cataract surgery, and I am getting better and used to being out in the sun (with wrap-around sunglasses).
