WinterSown Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I've been converting my veggie and tomato beds over to pollinator-friendly plants. I'm enjoying the flowers and so are the pollinators. So nice for a butterfly to come by when I have a camera at hand. I walked very slowly up to it so it wouldn't be skittish, I took a video which I had to stand very still for. 20190630_140259.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 @WinterSown, great vid - thanks for the smiles!! A few days ago, I missed what would have been two awesome photo ops if I had managed to whip out my phone soon enough. The first was - and I am not kidding - a squirrel sitting on top of the head of the St. Francis of Assisi statue we have in our front yard! I saw him from the house through the garage door window - I ran to get my phone which took maybe 10-15 seconds, but he was gone by the time I returned. Later that day, a small black snake was on the brick stoop on the side of our house; I saw him from the door window. Had my phone in my pocket, and no sooner did I twitch my arm to get the phone, than he slithered off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterSown Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 I've started feeding the birds squirrels and we love their antics. I put out a bag of niger seed for the finches and the first day the squirrels chewed a hole and picked the bag up by its bottom and poured the whole thing out! Again, no camera, but wow just the same. That's some smart squirrels out there. I tried putting orange halves on a platform feeder for the butterflies but the squirrels stole them too.
