And I don't know how some gardeners get such amazing photos. I'm happy to get pictures well enough to identify them. Luckily, they seem to enjoy some flowers so well they won't hardly move from them!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-80981105898446003802011-06-09T06:00:03.304-07:002011-06-09T06:00:03.304-07:00I love when gardeners post pictures of butterflies...I love when gardeners post pictures of butterflies in their garden.

It feel so good to have these delicate creatures show up. After all, a garden would't be complete without some wildlife to enjoy it. I love to see not only butterflies, but dragonflies, frogs, and lizards. Very motivating to keep planting flowers, and gardening without pesticides.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-66233725932013767922011-06-09T04:54:17.999-07:002011-06-09T04:54:17.999-07:00What a lovely post Holley, to see such elegant cre...What a lovely post Holley, to see such elegant creatures in the garden.
