A yellow-faced bumblebee, Bombus vosnesenskii, feeding on the leftover zinnias in the garden. I’m amazed to see how many flowers are still showing their colors this late in the year, not to mention the pollinators.

Look who came to visit us this late in the season: a gulf fritillary (Agraulis incarnata) feeding on the zinnias.

The Chitalpa is bursting all over in bloom on our front yard. This is a hybrid flowering tree produced by crossing a dessert willow, Chilopsis linearis, and a northern catalpa, Catalpa speciosa. Both the hummingbirds and the bees love it!

Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
