2106. so great!

tiny adventurer 

wending its way, petal by petal

orange zinnia 

 

What makes zinnias so great? Easy to grow…quick to bloom…low maintenance…vibrant variety of colors…resistant to deer…long blooming from summer to frost…favorite of pollinators, especially bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds…multitudinous petals, each one a seed. 

2105. zonked

rose of sharon

here is where the bumblebee 

zonks out!

 

Did you know that bumblebees can vibrate their wings 200 times a second to shake pollen loose from flowers or to heat their bodies when it’s cold. 

2104. the lookout

a dove perches

on withered branches, waiting

for the moon

 

The old withered willow, no longer green, but the dove doesn’t mind. It has the advantage over me.
