Greetings! These pictures were taken on different days over the past month. Most are typical sightings for this time of year. I planted zinnia seeds for the first time and I'm surprised how tiny the flowers are, but they are cheerful. The green moth was only about 1/2 inch across, it could have fit on my thumbnail.

I simply love the floating bubble, it deserves a picture by itself!
And I must simply say that I am missing the mesquite trees even if they are not too welcomed close to a swimming pool...
:-)
Have a wonderful week!
hi diane, these are beautiful! i love zinnias!
You have such a great eye.
Each photo is a gem.
Happy weekend !

The green moth is unusual. Interesting that you were able to find and photograph a hummingbird at rest!
I always like to see all these little things.
They are no more mysterious through a lense.
I think the kitty visitor is enjoying all that wildlife, too! Great photos.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos of nature. I imagine you live a a very interesting and serene environment.
Could you tell me what programme you use for you photo collages. I use pixlr but am always open to trying new ones.
Hi Shirley, I make my collages with a very old version of photoshop, I was thinking of trying a new program sometime, thanks for telling me about pixlr.
Πολύ όμορφες εικόνες!
Lovely insects - I can't believe I'm saying that.
I like your groupings Diane. The Green Moth is a treat. I don't I've ever seen one here before......that green collage of the insects is great! Hope you are having a wonderful week. Chris

Great macros. I like collages.
Good weekend.
