Cloudy Moon
The Moon. Cloudy. Far too cloudy for meteors 
More Meadow Grasshopper
Grasshopper cuteness. The cat has eaten a few since I took this.
Begonia
Begonia is a genus in the flowering plant family Begoniaceae and is a perennial. The only other members of the family Begoniaceae are Hillebrandia, a genus with a single species in the Hawaiian Islands, and the genus Symbegonia which more recently was included in Begonia. “Begonia” is the common name as well as the generic name for all members of the genus.
The genus name, coined by Charles Plumier, a French patron of botany, honours Michel Bégon, a former governor of the French colony of Haiti.

The Virgin Balloon passed right over the patio. I was a little bit scared, though clearly my fear didn’t stop me getting my camera.
Bee on Echinacea
Loving the Bumble Bee, those little faces are gorgeous. That’s a proper summer photo.
