Today's walk report: 081819

Close your eyes and look at me
I'll be standing by your side
In between the deep blue sea
And the sheltering sky
If we find no words to say
To the rhythm of the waves
Then we'll both surrender there
Walking on air *


Today's pictures...

Cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) on lantana.



and move over for the Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (Agraulis vanillae).



 A handsome male Calypte anna hummingbird chilling in the grape arbor.



The same bird perched upon an olive tree branch.



Another young male Anna's hummingbird on Salvia darcyi.


A  flame skimmer dragonfly (Libellula saturata).


This is the same  flame skimmer dragonfly under very different lighting conditions.


 Our parting shot is the young male Anna's hummingbird, once again. This time in cape honeysuckle.
