Backyard visitors

Every trip to the backyard is exciting. There are always new visitors and all kinds of activities. I love plants and the insects you find among them. I think people are just in too big of a hurry today or have been so numbed to life by all the action movies and video games to appreciate the simple things that are going on around them everyday.

Going for the nectar! Yum!

In the process getting covered in pollen. Ah-chew!


Ready to exit and take the pollen to another plant.

Uh Oh! A male Southern black widow (Lactrodectus mactans). Where is his wife hiding?
