In light of #NationalCatDay Viscountess Lady Snickerdoodle Snugglebug wants to point out that while we’ve told her not to get on the counter no one mentioned getting in a bag that happened to be on the counter. The fact that there were groceries in the bag is, to her, completely irrelevant. #cats

This #TwoForTuesday post feels perfect for #SpookySeason I call it Hidden Danger because if you look closely you can see a huge garden spider blurred in the background and bits of her web above the two monarchs. #photographersofbluesky

The theme of this week's #BlueSkyArtShow is #inside and on this dreary day, I'm sharing a shot from this summer. This bee was really focused on working its way inside the flower and it made me chuckle -reminds me of Winnie-The-Pook getting stuck in his door. #naturephotography #pollinator #bees

I call this one Hanging By A Thread. I don't know if it was lucky timing or if he was doing some sort of pull-ups to increase his upper body #bee strength 😆but I love how it's holding on with one little foot. #PhotographersofBluesky#Nature #NaturePhotography

Only another week or so of good pictures, but dang the #monarch migration is in full swing! #pollinators #gardening #photographersofbluesky

Was in #Wichita for work this week but managed to sneak over to the Botanic Garden and, wow, the #MonarchMigration was on full display! #photographersofbluesky

Today’s the day! #monarchbutterflies #pollinators #nature

I call this one of my "It's not pretty but..." photos. Because it's not pretty but there's something about this little robber fly that I find appealing. #pollinators #photographersofbluesky

As far as native pollinator magnets go this Ironweed is nothing to sneeze at. #photographersofbluesky #nativeplants #gardening

This is the shot I've been waiting for! After watching #monarchs eclose the last few weeks, I finally caught one as it dropped out of the chrysalis. It only takes a few more minutes for the blood and other fluids to pump from its body to its wings - #nature is amazing! #photographersofbluesky

This blue background is just a cushion on a back porch chair but I really like the color contrast. #monarchbutterflies #photographersofbluesky

Apparently it’s Azure Blue Sage and it’s native - definitely adding it to my garden next year!

Not sure what this blue flower is but after all the butterflies and hummingbirds I saw on it, I want to plant it next year. #nativeplants #butterfly #photographersofbluesky

Beautiful day, beautiful bird. #hummingbird #birds

I don’t post videos often but this one makes me happy. #monarchbutterfly #pollinators #photographersofbluesky

At first glance, I thought I missed this shot but the more I look at it, the more I like the way the #hummingbird is framed up inside the vine. #birds #photographersofbluesky

I’ve been obsessed with the #monarch caterpillars in my #garden this summer and this shot is one of my favorites. #photographersofbluesky

Here’s the thing: no one actually wants to wear the Cone of Shame. But if you have to wear one, it helps if you have an outfit to match. #dogs #pets

Another lucky #ladybug! #photographersofbluesky #nature

If you've never seen a #monarch eclose, I highly recommend taking some time to sit down and observe. It's an amazing process. #photographersofbluesky #naturephotography #pollinators

I think tomorrow is going to be the day! #monarchcaterpillar #photographersofbluesky

Things that make me happy. #monarchbutterflies #pollinators #photographersofbluesky

Still not getting as many #hummingbird shots as I'd like this year but I'm trying! #birds #photographersofbluesky

Last week I watched a #Monarch zip around my #milkweed, laying eggs. This week, I've been zipping around the #garden, taking pics of caterpillars. This flower is literally the size of a pea, just to get a little perspective. #phptographersofbluesky #pollinators

Lots of #goldfinches in my garden lately and I’m loving their summer clothes. #birds #photographersofbluesky

Ok, this shot just made me laugh...apparently, swallowtail caterpillars put out their horns when they feel threatened. But this guy was also clearly surprised and trying to hide behind the dill stalk. #naturephotography #photographersofbluesky

The weather cooled down a bit and that seems to have brought the #butterflies out. #naturephotography #photographersofbluesky

Got this shot at the Tulsa Botanic Garden, love how the hummingbird is giving me the side eye! #hummingbirds #birds #photographersofbluesky

Good day for #hummingbird shots at the Botanic Garden this weekend. #birds #photography

Good day for #hummingbird shots at the Botanic Garden this weekend. #birds #photography

I was in #Wichita earlier this month and got some cool pics at Botanica. Wish I could remember the name of this #butterfly but I think it works for the #blueskyartshow theme of #SummerDaze

I call this one "You Looking At Me?" because this bee had attitude for days 🤣 #pollinators #bee #photographersofbluesky

If you know me at all, you know I love all the red in this one! #hummingbirds #birds #naturephotography #photographersofbluesky

It’s hard to get excited about 4th of July this year but this does make me smile. #catsofbluesky

I love these green bees so much - was going to look up the official name to share but realized there are waaaayyyyy more varieties of green bees that I'd ever realized! Will keep you all posted as I figure out which are which. #bees #pollinators #photography

Spent some time at the Tulsa Botanic Garden this weekend. The Prairie Clover looked amazing and talk about a #pollinator magnet! #bees #nativeplants #photography

I've been playing with different lenses and angles this week so it's voting time. Which dragonfly image does everyone prefer? #nature #pollinators #poll #photographersofbluesky

Good morning all! Hope you have a beautiful day.

Meant to post this the first day of summer but it still works today. #monarchbutterfly #pollinators #photographersofbluesky

Hummingbird on #narrow branch for this week’s #blueskyartshow #birds #hummingbird

The #hummingbirds are back! #birds #photographersofbluesky

It’s #NationalPollinatorWeek and I’d love to see everyone’s photos. I’m currently crazy about these green #bees flitting around my #garden

Gloomy morning, needed a shot of #color to brighten my mood. #ladybug #gardening #photographersofbluesky

More #ladybug pics coming but this is my favorite so far. #gardening #pollinatorfriendly #garden

Just in time for the #blueskyartshow #vibrant

The contrast of the #ladybugs against the agastache makes me so happy. #photographersofbluesky #pollinator

I've got the #ladybugs out on aphid duty but glad they break long enough for a few pics. #nature #photographersofbluesky

In case you've ever wondered what it looks like when #Cardinals curse 🤣 #birds #photographersofbluesky

Another shot from the Botanic Garden this weekend. Can we talk about the fact that this bee seems to have 2 tongues? Are they supposed to have two tongues? #pollinators

The botanic Garden was really busy this weekend and I'm the first to admit I was a little annoyed...but not Killer Lizard Death Glare annoyed 😂 #naturephotography #lizard #photographersofbluesky
