Garden Pic Wednesday: Flower Bed Pumpkin
And how do you decorate for Halloween? For me, this is it. An electric pumpkin in the front flower bed to greet kids hoping for a sweet treat! This is my new one. It's plastic---unlike my previous pumpkin I'd had for years and years that was comprised of like a hard styrofoam that was too old to take being dropped on the garage floor when I was re-organizing this past spring! Oopsie! Garden Pic of the Day: I also got 2 awesome gorgeous photos of a Monarch Butterfly with wings fully open over the past 2 days. It's tricky photographing butterflies. You have to stealthily trail around after them, then stand very, very still with camera on them, patiently waiting for just the right second. The Monarch likes to sip with it's wings closed for the most part, but this one was fanning it's wings open every so often, but only for a split-second! Believe me, I got a lot of photos of the back edge of his wings already closed again in my effort to click that...
