i can not get enough of this flower. it is about 6 feet tall now and it looks like my friend the hummingbird is taken with it as well. 
i was able to capture this as the sun was coming up. this lovely humming bird decided to sit(seconds, mind you) awhile on a nearby branch.
this little fellow dragonfly looks a little worn but was enjoying sunning himself until i got too close.
there is something magical about an orange winged being flitting and fluttering about in ones garden. voila! he lit on a freshly watered wildflower. how wonderful!
i love coneflowers, they are big, lushious, reseed themselves, attract butterflies, bees, and when they go to seed they feed the goldfinch.
the single beauty of an unfurling flower! what more could one want to view.
dualing bees , i think the sunflowers face is big enough for the both of them. 
wispy, purple, waving in the wind beauty that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, this is a must have in the garden.

Great tour through your garden today!! Love hummingbirds and you did a great job of catching it in flight.
Oooooh... how I wish I had some hummingbirds. Last year I saw a couple (literally two) but never got a photo. This year I haven't seen a single one.
All the flowers are so pretty. I'm so glad you are having such fun with your wildflowers. This is a great time of year to enjoy all that work from the springtime in the garden.
Love those hummingbird pics!! I don't see them very often here in Florida. I saw one in June but that's all I've seen this year. Of course, I didn't have the camera handy. Maybe next time!! :)
flydragon- i love hummingbirds too that add that little something extra.
meems- i am so glad i had my camera at hand so now you can enjoy mine. it has been cool enough to just sit, watch and relish the work done earlier!
greenjeans- thanks for coming by. i am blessed to have been sitting there with my camera.
Great shots Marmee. Your cosmos are beautiful. Wish they'd bloom in the shade.
I enjoyed looking at your hummer and butterflies. Your photos had a dreamy quality I really like.
