Yesterday morning it was cold and the everything that was out in the open was covered in frost.
I took many pictures of the flowers in my front yard during the summer and it was interesting to take pictures of the remaining flowers covered in frost this late in the fall.

I felt sorry for the hummingbird that stopped at my empty and frozen hummingbird feeder. After the bird left, I took the feeder in, washed it in warm water and filled it back up with syrup. I waited for the hummingbird to come back that day, but it never did.

I was out in my mother-in-law’s garden photographing flowers in the early evening when a hummingbird flew right in front of me.

I quickly took a few snapshots of the hummingbird. Only a couple turned out good enough to share here. A pity.

The next day I went out in the garden again and followed the sounds of the hummingbirds. Unfortunately, they stayed mostly high in the trees. Only one actually flew in front of a flower but unfortunately all the pictures I took of it turned out fuzzy. A disappointment, really.

Bugs, especially ladybirds, and flowers are some of my more favorite subjects.
You will see a lot of them on this blog as time goes along! 
Dew on a Daisy

A ladybug is not normally seen on a daisy, those found in my front yard, that is.
I picked up the ladybug and placed it on the daisy just so I could take a picture of it on the dewy filled daisy!

I love taking pictures of the morning glory in my front yard. Their colors are vibrant and they are just beautiful. So beautiful that I have tons of pictures of the flower!
