You'd awakened before the insects, Rodafina!Nope. Just the early morning sunlight.
... because I already put a beetle-on-the-flowers photo on my profile.

My wife submitted all the particulars, specs and facilities of our back yard and received a National Wildlife Federation Backyard Wildlife Habitat certification.
For my part, I do not consider any animal to be undesirable. As I have mentioned before, I believe all sentient beings are "people". With that, all are welcome who wish to make a home here including: Wasps, skunks, mice, rats, possums, etc. I guess I'm sensitive to that, because I, myself, am generally considered to be "undesirable", or at least a misfit.
I looked up skunk diet on google and it said that skunks eat small rodents, such as mice. I thought that was not quite right, because there is a family of mice living in the skunk den along with the skunks. Can't believe everything you see on the internet.
Last night, after placing the food bowl in the skunk den, I was able to watch a skunk eating out of one of the bowls and sharing the food with a mouse. Both seemed fine with sharing. Both faces side by side eating away. Really heart warming to watch. Last night they got three bowls of food. One with nuts and grains, another with corn, another with banana. All bowls left clean the next morning.
My wife took this through our back door screen:
The cat is Mr. Pete. He is an indoor cat only. He doesn't care about the skunk. Instead he was vocally telling my wife that it is brushing time.
Sorry, I know this thread is for only one photo per day.

Yes, he did. He knows the routines and when things are supposed to be done, including brushing, toenail trimming, teeth brushing, play, etc.
I’m not in Kansas anymore. The trees are deciduous. The roadsides are blooming with Queen Anne’s Lace and Joe Pye Weed. There’s a church on every corner of the tiny rural towns.
This is a WINNING still-life photograph!
How close are you to him? The depth of field is really focused on him.
For the “big guys” (birds instead of bugs) I use a different lens, and I am about 4 or 5 meters away.
Yeah, I thought you'd have to be a distance away or birds would fly away before you could get your photographs. This guy's a Bluejay?
Correct, sir.
Actually, I was sitting for a long while in my car with my camera trained on the birds. I think I Iooked like a private investigator. It worked as a “bird blind,” though.
Have you ever taken photos from a hunter's blind?

Variegated green with brown and pink makes a very peaceful, tranquil picture.
I have not.
