            The Gerbera Daisies have been showing off since they were planted.  I kept expecting them to wane because that has been my past experience with them.  However, they really seem to love living by the pond.  When one flower withers another takes it's place.  

They have been very good to put out seeds as well.  Perhaps  some volunteer Gerberas will appear in the near future.

The box stores have begun to sell them once more.  Naturally, since the ones here are doing so well, I somehow ended up with more.  This image was taken a few days ago.  The new ones are yellow. I am sure they will show off for a photo soon.   

I believe it shall be another glorious day here in the sunshine state.  There are still several migratory birds visiting and the number of butterflies seems to increase daily.  

Peter Pan (male bluebird), is still acting like a baby so it looks like there will not be any bluebird nesting in the yard this season.  

The cardinals are building a nest in a small cedar tree that is growing in the bog.  I can't decide if that's a good location or not.  That are is certainly popular with the other birds and we do get racoons, snakes, and opossums here in the yard.  The cedar is very scratchy.  Perhaps the texture will keep the predators away.  I hope so anyway.  

Enjoy your wonderful Wednesday and happy snapping.
