Ruby-throated Hummingbird Feeding on a Mexican Sunflower

We visited the gardens on Friday. It’s high summer here and there are plenty of flowers out and also their pollinators. The weather today was so pleasant that this morning I was fooled. I was looking at my weather app and didn’t realize that it was set on the Soo. It did warm up eventually, but by then both Anne and I were well on our way into a photo safari. It’s been two-months for me and I think three for Anne since we last visited the gardens. In some ways they never change and in others they are always different. The white blur is a greenhouse tent and the red another Mexican sunflower.
