Beauty Of A Thorn This well-known thistle is a true nightmare to all the local farmers. At one point I think there was even a law passed saying that people could be fined if it was found growing unchecked on their property. / It is such an invasive plant that it will take over an entire pasture or field, and farm animals won’t/can’t eat it, so it’s a problem even in the hay. / On the other hand, its a true blessing for the many butterflies that migrate through this area, and it provides much-needed food and energy for the pretty creatures that have long flights ahead of them. / I have also noticed that hummingbirds love it as well. Being a photographer, I do love its exotic blooms and the many photo opportunities it provides. / The sad but true thing is, the only way to control it is to destroy it completely! It’s amazing that something so beautiful and so useful for the nectar lovers, is also such a thorn in the side for the farmers. / Photo taken along a road side in NW Arkansas, USA.

Ivan is rapidly growing up, now has at least 4 red feathers on his throat. He will become a very handsome young man, and certainly heir to the throne.

Not only humans can enjoy the drive in window at Sonic or McDonald’s; hummers have their own variety. Sip and hover is their version of a slush on the run! Ruby-throated hummingbird enjoying the nectar of bottlebrush blossom!
I love the website “Whatbird.com” because it not only describes each bird but also provides an audio clip of its song. The “song” of a hummingbird sounds more like the whirring of an engine or some kind of alien hovercraft than an actual song! I never tire of watching these energetic little feather balls hovering, sometimes only inches away from me! Click here to see and hear the ruby-throated hummer on whatbird.com

Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, Agraulis Vanillae is feeding from a blooming flower. / The Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae, a striking, bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae, subfamily Heliconiinae. These were formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries. It is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of from 6 to 9.5 cm. Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots. It takes its name from the fact that migrating flights of the butterflies are sometimes seen over the Gulf of Mexico.
