Still far behind these are late August images. I am sharing a variety of photos, my dog Miney, backyard butterflies, the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at my feeders, a pretty sunrise and some Florida Flashback photos.
Click on images for better viewing.
1. Aug 27, images are from my morning walk with Miney and some photos of the hummingbirds and Butterflies in my yard.
2. A larger look at the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. It is a beautiful butterfly.
3. Aug 30th, sunrise seen from the parking lot at the Dialysis Center.
4. Aug 31st, it was fun watching the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds with my grandsons. I think they were amazed to see these tiny birds flying around our deck.
5. My flashback images this week are from Oct 2016, the Lakeland neighborhood birds. Even though our time living in Florida was short Oct 2016-March 2017, I enjoyed the birdwatching. We visited so many parks and beaches and bird walks around our little Lakeland neighborhood. Below are all birds seen in the neighborhood. The Osprey on a electric pole.
6. The Sandhill Cranes were seen all around the neighborhood, sometimes walking down the streets. Below they are near the boat ramp.
7. A large flock of Snowy Egrets landed on the pier.
8. A Tricolored Heron standing on the railing.
9. The Black-bellied Whistling ducks were a favorite, I always could hear them flying in and landing on a neighbors lawn. Below they are on a pier.

Love the new header shot, Eileen... and all those butterflies! YAM xx
No butterflies here this "summer that hardly was". Nice to see yours and oh, the sunrise, beautiful. And the Hummingbird , so ... seemingly fragile.
And the Osprey so strong and fierce. Never knew there are so many different herons. Thank you, Eileen, this was summerly fun on a very grey morning - have a great day.
Céu maravilhoso,Miney, borboletas, pássaros... Tudo lindo como sempre aqui! Tenham um lindo fim de semana! beijos praianos, chica
Hello Eileen :)
A wonder filled series of photos with a wide variety of birds in your neighbourhood, and the Hummingbirds in your yard-plus the lovely butterflies I have seen so little of this year. Thank you for sharing these brilliant photos, and for hosting Eileen.
Hope you have a happy weekend

Birds were made, in a way, to brighten our lives—and we, theirs.
That sky with pink cloudy sunset is just incredible
Gorgeous photos. loved seeing the sandhill cranes and egrets..Our hummingbirds have left for the season, feeders cleaned and put away till next year. Enjoy the weekend, it is Thanksgiving here in Canada.
Beautifu bird photos, a lovely new header and a big thanks for hosting. Have a wonderful weekend.
Those butterflies are so very beautiful! I still haven't seen a hummingbird over here...

...Eileen, your butterflies are a treat to see. I have seen so few this year and have noy been able to photography them. Thanks for hosting anf wish you a wonderful new week.
A lovely selection of photos, Eileen. The fiery sky is beautiful! Thanks for hosting and have a great new week!
The heron shot sure caught my eye, as did the sunrise.
I saw so few butterflies this summer. Yours were beauties, Eileen.
Love the photos and the butterflies are sure beautiful!
I love your hummingbirds and butterflies. I think both are magical type creatures and incredibly beautiful. We had a few hummingbirds in the backyard and I loved them.
I love your shots from your time in Florida. Florida seems to be a huge state for bird watching and other critters.
You have lots of activity with the hummingbirds. It's crucial that we expose younger kids to birds and all wild life.
A wonderful variety of critters to enjoy seeing, Eileen. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Nice pics again. I like the butterflies and the eagle most.
Have a good time and all the best
Violetta
