Here are a few late summer pictures:

| Hummingbird moth in the evening sun. |
The hummingbirds were here yesterday fighting over the feeders. There were three or four of them still hanging around, diligently keeping guard over their nectar source! This one was on the front porch all day long sitting on a dragon fly that stays in a planter. I took this picture through the front door side lights. 
The temperatures dropped into the 30's last night and the hummingbirds have not been seen at all today. Their departure is my signal that summer is officially over.
The Lowe's Creative Ideas project this month is all about mums! The best part is that I have a gift card for one of you! I've never had a giveaway on my blog before so I am excited to offer this Lowe's $50 gift card to one of my readers, (U.S. residents only)! To enter leave a comment on this post and I'll use Random.org to pick a winner!
The giveaway ends at midnight September 30, 2012. Only one entry per person please!
This giveaway is now closed! Thank you for participating!

ReplyDeleteWhy do hummingbirds hum?

Beautiful photos, as always, Robin - and I'm so jealous of your hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteAnd frost? Wow. We, of course, are still in the 90's, swatting skeeters and drinking iced tea. Surely fall will arrive before Thanksgiving. =)
Hope all is well with you and those you love.
Love,
Patricia
Beautiful pictures Robin! I wish I could take such beautiful ones on my blog. I do my best but nothing as pretty as you and Pat Hunter my dear friend. Thank you for this giveaway. I would love to enter as we do shop at Lowe's all the time. Blessings to you friend!
ReplyDeleteYour summer photos are fantastic Robin. I love the hummingbird moth. I only saw one this summer and couldn't get a photo of it so it is especially good to see yours.
ReplyDeleteWe even have a frost warning tonight. Had one last night too. It was nippy this morning. We still have hummers though.
I would have lots of fun with that Lowes card. Throw my name in the pot.
I'm getting ready to do some serious shopping at Lowes when we replace flooring & do a lot of painting - $50 would come in very handy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to enter your drawing and enjoyed your blog posts very much. When you get a chance, check out my website/blog too. I'd love to hear what you think!
Happy Gardening!

Your photography amazes me. We didn't see a single hummingbird moth this summer. We moved to a new house in Texas at the beginning of summer so we haven't worked in the yard much. I have put out mums and made the porch all pretty and welcoming. Can't wait to work in my yard and welcome the hummingbirds and moths next year. Soon we will put out pansies and some cool weather flowers. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice of you to give away a Lowe's gift card. :)
love your hummingbird picture! thanks for the giveaway.
