Wish I knew something about butterflies and moths (or, well, anything at all really). This was next to the Savannah River near the lock and dam at the Rapids.
This little guy keeps coming back to visit, and with friends. I swear he's coming to this feeder, because he "matches". I mean, is it really all about the style of being lemon yellow? Really!
I was so happy that the mums bloomed early and was thinking to take photos, when I realized that my son's rabbit, Willow, had found a chosen spot right next to them. So, here's Willow in the flowers. Where's Maple, the other bunny, you say? She was hiding under the shed.
I don't care what my neighbor, Ms. Alice, says about how Mimosa is a terrible plant, that it drips, that I should never have it in my yard, etc. etc. etc. I think the blossoms are beautiful, the butterflies and the hummingbirds love it, and it gives us shade. This happens to be in the yard of the neighbor behind us (not Ms. Alice), but it hangs over our fence and it's branches house some of our feeders. See the black butterfly up towards the top right? Also, heard that it's related to the Acacia tree, so maybe we'll take some to feed the giraffes at the zoo next time!
