The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I've begun a new series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.

It's not often that such a lovely creature will pose for my camera.
I kept snapping photos! (Another reason to avoid pesticides!)
How about some bloggin' music! ;-)
You already know how I love, LOVE The Speakeasies Swing Band. This is such a fun song for October! Black Swamp Village.
I hope you enjoy it! Remember more music can be found (and linked) at Holli's Hoots and Hollers great party called Tuesday Tunes!

Gorgeous photos and I just love butterflies. I pinned your picture so I can look at it during the winter months! We still have butterflies but it won't be long until they are gone until late Spring.
ReplyDeleteMarci that is awesome! I would love to have a place like were little critters could come and just be themselves without fear of being harmed. I live right very close to a metro park and we enjoy going on bike rides and sometimes interact with nature, turtles, deer or bunnies...no bears so far thank goodness, lol Beautiful Pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the butterfly are beautiful. And I love the speakeasies too. They are so awesome! Have a great day!
