Summer Garden 2

It's a little late now that the leaves are changing, but here's more of my summer garden before it went to sleep.  You have to give my little iPhone 5S credit - it takes some great close-ups!

I LOVE LOVE fall, but I always miss my garden during the fall and winter months!  I guess it makes it that much more special when spring finally comes around.

Here are some of the late summer flowers!

My 4 different kinds of pink phlox

Do you remember the tiny little mantids I wrote about in the Summer Gardens 1?  Look at them now!  Can you see him?   I've noticed them a lot more often than last year.  They are SO COOL!

One last question - is this a monarch caterpillar?  I never got to see the butterfly, but this looks familiar!

Keep Calm & Garden On!

Peace.  Love.  Serene.
