Denzil Nature posted a challenge about the important side of nature concerning the things we call pests – Flies. If you have not seen his site, do check it out for some amazing photos. For my addition to this post, I am including flies and other things that buzz in my yard – some louder than others.
I do have in my yard a similar fly, possibly a bottle fly, that I was surprised that they hovered around my flowers…instead of something less pleasant.
But I also have other things that fly, maybe hoping to catch a less cautious bottle fly.
Then there are many swirling bees enjoying the nectar of my sunflowers. proof that bees don’t care if the petals are bright yellow, light yellow or no petals at all.
But my favorite flyer is not an insect, although he is not much bigger than some insects. And I don’t really have the equipment to capture him properly in photos, but still, he is a favorite – the hummingbird.
All of nature is important and has a purpose in being, so enjoy it often. And as always I remind you of another beauty in nature – kindness. For if all of us can show kindness to all of nature, kindness will continue to grow.

Flying bugs are fun to watch. I don’t care for them when they land on me as much as I enjoy seeing them land on the plants. Your flowers look like they’re surviving the dry summer. That’s so fun the hummingbird is active for you. We had to take our feeder down because it kept leaking even after we bought a new one 😠The little hummer that enjoyed our feeder stops by occasionally to check out the Catchfly flowers. I hope the rest of the summer treats you well! 🤗😊

I think we in the mid-west are looking forward to fall. This summer was like the summer I had growing up in Ga. Too much heat!
