Tiny Tuesday ...

... mystery ... not!

Okay ... there is no mystery as to what this is ... butthis ruby-throated hummingbird is still tiny!  Thanks to Mary for hosting Tiny Tuesday all this month.  Sorry for not only the late entry but for failing the 'what is it' theme.  Please view large.

In other news: we had another monarch butterfly emerge yesterday from our nursery ... it is a beautiful female.  I've added a photo of her in Extras as well as a photo of another butterfly visitor ... an eastern giant swallowtail.  We don't often see the giant swallowtails in our garden so I was thrilled to see this one.
