Midwestern boy meets ocean for first time.

I think this is my first butterfly larvae:)?!

A friend posted a pick of a groundhog up in his mulberry bush eating the leaves and berries. Who knew groundhogs could climb??

================================================================

Goldblush....that's a Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillar!

Jasdip, I saw a groundhog just like yours enjoying the fruits of a shrub. We were driving by on a very busy road through a busy close neighborhood. when I spotted it in that shrub about 4 feet off the ground and within 8 foot of the road traffic . Seemed totally oblivious to it's surroundings. I did know that they will climb for food or safety.

Daylily 'Joylene Nicole'

Thank you for confirming it Nicole...was not sure but suspected it was. I'm excited to see it:)! Love your jackmanii!

lgmd, I have that variety daylily also. One of my favorites.

From this morning, still in Wisconsin:

Panorama of the gardens and buildings at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles

Headed down to the orchard for tea and lunch today.

My New Jersey cactus. Only 1 lonely bloom this year.

Ancient Roman wall in York, England and explanatory sign.

I really like all of the pictures and the explanations with them. I especially like both of the waterfall pictures.
