Fun photos of summer visitors

There's snow everywhere out there and we've started a new year, but what to do when there's nothing going on in the garden? Go through old photos and find some that will help cure the winter doldrums! Hope you enjoy these...I have SO many photos of my gardens, daylilies, etc that I have never posted....so if you want more, let me know!
(I have to clean out all photos from 2012 and I have hundreds of daylily and garden shots).

    Wow, nice grouping of pics. Butterflies are so pretty and you've captured them with all that pollen. Those frog photos are really cute they way they are huddled together and I believe that one picture looks as though it is smiling for the camera LOL. The kitties look very content.

    I love going back and looking at photos and remembering those warm, sunny days when the air was filled with fragrance, a gentle breeze is blowing and the garden is filled with color.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Celeste, The pictures of all your summer visitors are great. Wish we had that many frogs around here. Sure makes me anxious to be able to get back out in the garden. I do enjoy a little break at this time of year, but winter is entirely too long for my taste.

    Lovely Lovely! Really like those frogs. I would love to have a pond so I could have some! Nice kitties too!

    Great shots, Celeste. I'm especially intrigued by the crab spider on the Echinacea. I've read that some flower crab spiders can change color to match their surroundings, and that one looks like it might have a streak of Echinacea pink. I know most of the ones that hang out on my daylily seedlings are toasty brown or muddy gold. LOL
    Always love seeing photos of kitties. Thanks for sharing.

    Love all your summer visitor pics. The butterflys and cats are my fav. But the frogs!! That is amazing, I don't think I have ever seen such big, green frogs like that anywhere in my gardens or even near the lake. Keep the pics coming! Although in the spring the sounds of the frogs can be deafening, just havent' seen them.

    THANK YOU for your comments. I've been busy with my new grandbaby lately but will be posting more photos soon.

    About the frogs: They really are our 'pets' as strange as that sounds. I have 2 watergardens which are all natural and have no filtration systems so the frogs come from everywhere to take a dip. Each little pond has about a dozen or so 'residents' which stay all summer. They are fun to watch since they like to cuddle up when they climb onto the rocks to bask in the sun. They are incredibly tame and don't mind my getting right up close. I really enjoy them.

    The frogs must know you gave them their little sanctuary. :)

    Beautiful garden photos!
