After spending so much time photographing around Florida this summer, it was nice to spend a day in my own yard. Sadly I was removing some of my rosebushes…I’m tired of using so many pesticides to keep the roses healthy. I’m replacing them with plants that attract hummingbirds. My mom’s had success in attracting hummers to their yard, and I’d like to do the same. It was pretty hot today, but once I got busy, the heat didn’t really bother me. I took my camera out with me and photographed several butterflies who visited the yard. It’s nice to see them again — they haven’t been around much this summer!
