summer colours

This fence post lizard is wearing his best finery, hanging out on top of a sassafras post... Hoping to attract a new lover.







The brugmansias have begun to bloom.











The honey bees seem to be very interested in the datura....












Gulf fritillary butterflies have found the zinnias.










These red sunflowers are attracting plenty of polinators.











Got some painted lady butterflies...


Silver-spotted skipper enjoys the 7-minute itch plant, even if I don't...








These little yellow cherry tomatoes are sweet!






Most of the squash are through... I still have some, because I replanted some of the thinned plants...




The columbine seedlings are coming along.
