Skipper Butterfly on an Indian Blanket flower
Seeing Double 🦋
I rarely see two butterflies on the same flower, but these two were fighting over this one flower for quite a while, until they finally agreed to share. Even though there were probably 30 other Indian Blanket flowers around! And the sun hit it just right when I took this.
Happy Wednesday 🌻
Depth of Field 💚
Having a little fun with the mantis, depth of field, and reflection.
Balancing Act ⚖

Dinner Time 🍽
I found this praying mantis in our crape myrtle tree having a little dinner, or dessert.

Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp 🐝
This one has been circling the same spot for two weeks now (I guess looking for Cicadas!). He finally came to a rest on the tomato cage!
Not Something you See Every Day 😀
I looked out the window and found this (rather large) walking stick climbing up the bird feeder!
Happy Monday 🔷🔹
I spotted this little one hanging out on a curvy leaf on my walk through Zilker Botanical Gardens
Say Cheese 🕷
I found this tiny green crab spider on the milkweed (and I mean tiny). If you zoom in, you can see him smiling at you. :)
Backyard Guest 🦎
This little one has been hanging out in the backyard for a few months.
Firefly and a Stormy Sky 💜
This has been on my photography bucket list for a while. I finally got one to land and light up! We had beautiful, purple skies from earlier storms.
Coins 🖤🤍
My little model has returned (and with a serious smolder)! I started paying him in coins to model for fun, then he requested dollars, and now we are back to coins since he is collecting coins. :)
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Good morning From Austin, TX 🌞

Fairy Hairstreak 🧚♀️
I don’t see hairstreaks do this with their wings often. I caught this one hanging out on a rose bush leaf.
Hairstreak 🦋
I followed this little one around on the rose bush to get a shot, but he flew off and landed on the top of a window so I got this shot looking up at him which gave it this cool effect.
