@FediTips Missing: #Bloomscrolling - there's also variations like #bloomscrollingwithinsect to this.
I'm biased here, but #fedidogs #dogsofthederation #dogsofpixelfed #mastodogs and #Mondog may also spread delight if you're so inclined.
#pillowforscale may make you smile too.

(This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken. I took it five years ago and posted it on my previous instance back in 2024, and Throwback Thursday seemed a good excuse to give it a home here as well.)

Some blooms from there garden!
The two sunflowers are two of three, the other one hasn't flowered and may not. I love the difference in colour and brightness of them. One a burnt orange and the other a very bright yellow.
A rudbeckia that's doing really well, these were a gift that has done well and seems to be going from strength to strength.

It was finally cool enough to hike again this morning, and we found this little oddity hiding in the goldenrod. Looking like the product of a mad scientist who was assembling centaurs but ran out of human and horse parts and decided to substitute mantis and wasp bits, this is a brown wasp mantidfly (๐๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ข):
