I'm always so dazzled by butterflies. Especially when I spot a 'eastern tiger swallowtail' fluttering through my garden. I feel giddy and humbled by their visits. My tiger lilies are always a favorite for these butterflies.

I caught this adorable little tree frog lounging on one of my pink oriental lilies, soaking up some late morning sun. Tree frogs are always a fun little surprise in the garden even though I see them in there almost every single day. I never grow tired of these tiny green visitors.

Draw You In

It's always a lovely day when the stargazer lilies start to bloom. 

They draw you in with their divine scent,

their striking pink spotted petals and 

their prominent stamen and pistil.

When near a stargazer

a closer look and a deeper breath

is surely a good idea.
