I have been swamped with house guests. The heat, and just needing a break from the gardens I found I needed. The property is about 15 acres with about 6 acres having gardens.
This is the back gardens.
Back porch container plants
Back rose garden

We have tons of butterflies...but this I think Moth.
We have been spotting that looks like a bald eagle. It has a white head and a black body. Two others have stated the same.....I think it is.
Hummingbirds have been migrating and they love bottlebrush. But to photo them is like taking a picture of lightening. I think I finally got a shot of one...but it's hard to see.

I think your butterfly may be a Red Admiral.
Your gardens are looking lush and green and lots of flowers. I love the curtains and the pool area. Refreshing. The butterfly/moth looks like it could be a red admiral...not sure though.
You have a lot to keep up with and enjoy. Happy GBBD. I agree with Jean you have a red admiral butterfly there.
I hope you are not out there in 98º weather trying to do any work. Stay inside and be cool.
Nope, I am really not like August lately...it's is just too hot to go outside...I have gotten cabin fever! How about you?
Where are my manners....Thanks Nell, Lisa, and Donna for your kind comments and for visiting!
I go out. I just don't stay long at a time and I choose my times.
No rain in sight for a while. I'm starting soakers and dribblers here and there before things die.
