Critters

On hot days the bees remain outside the hive for a while until the temperature cools. They like the hive to be 93 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is a cold day they cluster into a ball and on a hot day they spread out.

Perfect landing every time!

These guys needed some privacy but I couldn't stop looking.

Praying mantis require good vision for hunting; that is possible due to their binocular field of vision and their flexible head movements. Can you see him staring at you. Yah you.

I think this one is a swallowtail butterfly.

This dragon fly visited our garden last year. It was a lucky photo shot. One click he was there a second later he was gone.
