Beth's Patch ~ Rabbits in the Yard

 These rabbits don't think I see them and there 20 other bunny friends chowing down in the yard.  I have taken to cages wrapped in chicken wire to protect all of my cone flowers, liatris, malva and many other flowers.  I have also potted them and up them on steps and on the porch.  They are even eating lantana which is supposed to be poisonous to them though I don't see any dead rabbits around here.

 

Beth's Patch ~ American Snout Butterfly

 Yesterday afternoon, I saw an American Snout going round and round the Hackberry tree so I went out to look and found the Snout was laying eggs.  I went back out this morning to capture pictures of the eggs.  I just love nature.

4 eggs on these leaves

Close up shows 3 of the eggs quite well

Beth's Patch ~ Osprey hunting for fish

 Several Osprey were hunting for some fish for breakfast this morning.  They were not having much luck.

Fabric Postcard Art ~ Purple

 One of our latest swaps is making postcards using a color.  This month's color was purple.  I made the first 3 postcards and received the last 3 as part of the swap.
