Summer!

Aaah, summer. Such a nice season. (NOT!) With the scorching heat of the sun, I wonder how my flowers thrive, expecially on days that I forget to water them.

Four o' Clock Flower (Mirabilis jalapa)

Yellow Wild Iris (Dietes bicolor)

Red Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)

Pink rose (not sure what variety - probably a hybrid tea rose)

Silk Tree aka Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin)

Lantana (Lantana camara)

Of course, the critters can fend for themselves...

Obscure Bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca obscura)

Eastern Amberwing (Perithemis tenera)

Green Tree Frog (Hyla cinerea)

We should never forget to thank the Lord for all the creatures He made.

The Earth is the Lord's, and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for God has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers. ~Psalm 24:1-2
