Even though it is still hot this weekend I was able to sit out on my deck and enjoy the birds, butterflies and blooms. The Great Blue Herons have been really noisy lately, they are growing bigger and sound even louder. From my deck I can see them flapping their wings even though all the trees block my view of their nest.

It was neat this weekend sitting out on my deck and watching an eagle fly over my yard.

This Sulfur and the Tiger Swallowtail seem to prefer the Purple Coneflowers over the butterfly bushes.

The Goldfinches add some bright color to my yard, the males are such a bright and pretty yellow.

I have been enjoying the butterflies around the Fritallaries seem to be one of the common butterflies in my yard.

Eileen, your shots of the butterflies are so amazing. Your butterflies are more beautiful than the ones we have here, well around my way anyway. How special to see an eagle overhead. xx
My favorite things.... birds and butterflies :) Beautiful post Eileen!!
I'm glad you were able to enjoy your deck and capture all this beauty to share with us. It's really neat that you can see eagles flying over your deck. The portrait of the male American Goldfinch is gorgeous.
Wonderful photos, Eileen. I especially love that little Carolina Wren. We have some families of them around our house also. They love to be close to houses I think.. They'd love to nest in our garage --IF we'd let them... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
I am always happy to see your birds, blooms and butterflies. Nice photos Eileen . . .
I loved seeing your wildlife. Lovely captures of such pretty and colorful nature.
More beauties.
I've noticed quite a lot of different birds here at the new house. I will be putting up a feeder one day soon and hope to get some pictures.
Beautiful nature photo mosaics ~ Gorgeous! ~ happy week to you ^_^
Gorgeous photos! It so hard to get good shots of nature, yours are amazing. Thanks for your sweet visit and comments.

What a cutie the Carolina Wren is and that finch is fabulous. That's my favorite mosaic where his colors are so featured.
What beautiful photos! I love the yellow... so cheerful. hope you have a good week.
Superb photos! The butterflies are gorgeous. Here in Texas, at least where I live in Texas, the butterflies won't stay still long enough to get a picture. You've captured it all so wonderfully.
Blessings,
Marianne
Gorgeous shot of the Swallowtail and a wonderful mosaic of the Fritallaries!
Beautiful captures! Gorgeous goldfinches and swallowtails!
Lovely shots of the birds, blooms and butterflys! These are some of my favorite things, too. The goldfinch is just beautiful!
These are so pretty!
It is nice that you can see so many beautiful scenes of nature from your own deck, Eileen. Watching an eagle fly over head must be such a thrill! I keep looking for ones here but haven't seen any as yet although my daughter has.
Nature always amaze by its wonder, the beautiful spots and the amazing creatures makes the earth complete. =)
I love the photos, the details, the colors, everything is awesome. Two thumbs up! #Columbiariverguideservice
