Purple Passion

I'm back online!!! The phone repairman came a day early and it was an easy fix! YAY!!! I am way too attached to my computer. LOL! Thank you for all your best wishes for getting back quickly! 365 was the first site I we pulled up! :0)

I hung out around the thistles today. I was trying to get some good pics of a Hummingbird Moth. I did get some pics, but I wasn't satisfied with them. I'll try again tomorrow. :0)

This bumblebee was really enjoying the thistles. He tried them all out.

@tabbycat I would have gotten a good pic of the moth I was stalking, but after getting him in focus, I saw the message "No Memorey Card" on my camera! LOL!!! :0)
