That's an amazing pic of the moth and petunia. I've seen those moths in the garden as well.... most unique look to them.

Love the color of Outta the Blue.

Is a squirrel really still a squirrel if it loses it's tail or does it become a prairie dog ? You know, kind of like that tree falls in the forest thang ;-)

We have much the same taste in roses. Love that vibrance of SaH. It seems almost like a cross of Joseph's Coat and Livin Easy. OtB is like MB....a blending of the blue petunia and PP. Your perilla is awesome and makes me really miss not having any. One of the first things to go in the garden with the bad economy was all my pots. I miss not having my giant Magilla perillas to contrast with the Wall of Easy :-(

Dude, everything is looking awesome......love that white stripe in PP :-)

Looking good, Jim! Not much sympathy for the squirrel. Around here they're a bane!

RE: Sunrise at Heirloom and others...

Ooooh I love that last picture!!! Wowzer!!

I also really like your Outta the Blue. Very pretty!!

If you can believe it - I saw a hummingbird moth (I think it was) when I lived in Fort McMurray - zone 2. They must have a very long range!!

Nothing scares this hummingbird moth.lol. I water the petunias and he/she will land on me once in awhile.
I should take more pics.
