I was at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo which is hilly. I was above and miraculously it stayed put on the cable!
That was a good catch. Were you very close to it?
And anyone who tries to photograph birds can relate… Here is my yellow warbler photo (check the bottom) 
It was sitting near the top of the branch…

Back in April, I received a package containing several varieties of flower plants in bare-root form. Among them was 2 each of 2 different daylily types. This one, called Bestseller, is the first to open.
Lovely big bloom!

Yes, it is almost 6 inches across.
That's pretty big!
Oh, that's so beautiful. No wonder it's named "Bestseller".
I have to say, though, I'm envious of you having blooms already from your bare roots day lilies you just got this year. I ordered 3, which arrived in May, and 2 of them have only now just started emerging from the ground and are barely 2 inches high, and the 3rd is still in hiding. Obviously there will be no flowers this year. 
So I've been taking more pictures of my garden, trying to get really well focused close up shots. I realize part of the problem is that it's always windy around here, so the plants are always moving. Plus, when I stoop down to take a picture, it's had to stay steady and not cause camera shaking. Anyway, here's a few I think turned out ok-ish.

It always seems that when you get plants, even identical ones, that some are more vigorous than the others. The second daylily doesn't even have buds yet, and the other daylily, called Hello Screamer, has buds but they are still a week or more away from opening.Oh, that's so beautiful. No wonder it's named "Bestseller".

On another note, I have noticed the bumblebees working the various flowers a lot, but not so many honey bees. Has anyone else noticed this?
