red: the biggest one
red: seeing hearts
red: a dragon of dragon house 2.0
red: darth moth
orange: lilies of the lab
yellow: one of the best things about the bayou walks is the wafting aroma of honeysuckle lurking around various corners
yellow: i finally sat still long enough to catch some swallowtail photos
it was impossible to just choose one…
yellow-green: western tanager is still hanging around, eating the neighbor’s plums in addition to our cherries.
green: another frugivore munching huckleberries on the bayou trail.
green: the bayou
green: fauna of the bayou. yes, i know, seeing a mama hummingbird feeding its baby was supposed to be once in a lifetime, but apparently someone goofed, because i just got to witness it twice in the same one. (different birds: this one has apparently fledged but is still getting help from mama; this one is in our backyard, while the others were from work.)
so glad i happened to be holding my camera.
thank you, universe.
blue: more bayou fauna, this time cedar waxwings.
blue: the view from down here
blue: finding some creative alternative lighting options for the dragon house kitchen. since we don’t get real fireflies here, we’re having to mimic bioluminescence with artificial firefly jars: micro leds in an old blue jar above my sink.
periwinkle: there really should be more periwinkle in the rainbow…
purple: bayou grasses
purple: butterfly butt, as it turned its back on me to drink from each and every blossom on the bright purple buddleia.
i hope you have a fantastic week!
a splash of color on monday morning
a photo study documenting the colors of the spectrum: the balance points between light reflected and light absorbed
Frugivores unite!!!!! word!! love it, our door is always open to our fellow fruguaman. I love that you know the names of everything flora and fauna alike, I need some schooling from ya.
lesson one: get good at stringing together google search terms to find out what fauna you’re looking at… “yellow bird red head dark wing” in an image search took me to western tanager lickety split. i looked up cedar waxwings a few years ago when a zillion of them came and ate all the berries in the ash tree in the ols back yard in a matter of a few days. they made an impression on me. 🙂
