Belle dams la lumiere et les ombres. ,! Bonne journée pam

Merci Thérèse !

So beautiful dear Pam,eddie,xxx

Thankyou Eddie !

... Don't know this Ironweed ... but I find it very beautiful !
I can see some bees in the garden ... because someone has some hives not far away from here. But something is definitely wrong this year with the birds. Usually I don't see them a lot as soon as the beautiful days are coming back. This year they are asking some food all the time ! ... and I am sure that it is because they don't find enough food around by themselves. That heat is killing vegetation ... and insects, of course (:o(((((.
Have a nice day, Pam.

Wonderful floral picture.

Here also we have less bees than normal. They say, it's because of industrial agriculture. Too much mono-culture ... bees find not enough to eat. Seems, we are going to kill our own world, day by day....

Very beautiful work !!!....Our wildlife seem to be doing ok here in my neck of the woods ...have a good week !!

Superb !!! Looks like a painting, Pam ************************************

Strange really, No butterflies or bees LAST YEAR, these past couple of weeks had plenty of all varieties, most likely due to two Buddleia trees in heavy flower, also noticed many of the winter garden visitor birds have also remained with the feeders being quiet busy.

Beautifully taken and presented, Pam. I'm not sure what is most disturbing, your note on the lack of bees and butterflies, or the many subsequent echoes of that in later comments from around the ipernity world.

Very beautiful flowers and colors. Also very beautiful treatment of the image. Hopefully some of my newly planted plants will flower, so maybe I can comment on bees later in the summer. Lots of birds at the feeder, though, and lots of squirrels.

Beauty .... period !
Have given the bees your GPS info -
Also the butterflies -- mostly Skippers, but know you would enjoy them -
Have had no Dragonflies ..
micritter ( down the road) has had them all ;)

Very nice processing. I wonder where all of the critters went?

Nice photo. Here in Mississippi (at least at my wild place) there is lots of this ironweed / Vernonia.
