Sunday Morning in Myrtle Glen


As I do every morning, I fill up the feeders with black sunflower seeds, cracked corn, etc. I watch our squirrel happily run off with a whole peanut.  The Cardinals seem to have waited already for their breakfast of black sunflower seeds, and the Mockingbirds are picking the ripe seeds off the Lantana trees.






The hummingbirds are zipping  from flower to flower, and butterflies such as Monarch, Gulf Fritillary, and Black Swallowtail, are everywhere.





I stop by the pond to feed the fish and Ruby, our Beagle, comes along stopping to investigate a small turtle sitting under the bench.




Maybe it will stay in Myrtle Glen, one would think the pond area offers everything a little turtle heart desires.




Frisbee fun




Life is good in Myrtle Glen :)

    I think the little turtle should be very happy in your pond! The hummingbirds look like they are having a good time, too. Your garden is a joy to human and wildlife both!

    Gorgeous images. Of all the treasures of the Americas, the one I think the one I envy the most is the humming bird.

    I could not agree more! My favorite birds in the yard are the Hummingbirds.
