From today around the yard, staring with Tess saying "there's a Hummingbird moth on the deck." They really seem to prefer purple flowers.

Some deck flowers


A weed we transplanted into the garden.






King squirrel,


Sorry about the tint, under the trees you get green light, it can be very hard to colour correct.

The "Hummingbird Birds" are said to prefer red. I guess the moths and birds are specialized for different flowers.

Your usual good job on the pictures.

I did try a couple shots of the Hummingbird at the feeder, but, I needed a longer lens.
