Five on Friday

I'm joining in with Amy at Love Made My Home and others for Five on Friday.  I'm a bit late, I know, but I had a doctor's appointment this morning to get the dressing on my nose changed.  They said it looked good.  Did I look at it?  No, 'cause what looks good to a doctor might not look so good to me (still having those Frankenstein visions).  They got rid of the big bandage, put some Vaseline on it and put a small bandaid (that's encouraging) and told me I could wash my hair now  (they'd told me not to in case I got the big bandage wet).
So I came home and worked out in the yard, we'd gotten more than 3 inches of rain Wednesday and the weeds have been growing like, well, weeds.  While I was doing that Mac took some pictures for me of all the critters that are visiting our bee trees.  I can't get too near them as I had an allergic reaction to a wasp sting and have to carry an Epi pen when I'm outside.

So first is a view of the trees, they're really outdoing themselves this year.  They're one plant that has really enjoyed all the rain.

Second is a close up and it shows one of the butterflies visiting the tree and I think Mac told me, 'cause Lord knows I'd have no idea, that it is a Buckeye Butterfly (I wrote that it was a Hairstreak and Mac told me to get it straight).

The third is, I'm cheating here,  is a couple of  Swallowtails.

I believe the one on the right is a female.

The fourth is a honey bee.  When we first moved here there were few honey bees, now the garden is full of them.  He's a little out of focus, but that's because he's working hard.  Below him is a Bumble Bee.

The fifth picture is me weeding.  Back view only, no nose shots.  I'm trying to clean out the spider plant bed so they can keep spreading.  I like plants that can take over a bed.
