Solar powered plant...Sun flowers have a type of phototropic response called heliotropism(sun turning); the leaves and flower heads of young sunflowers follow the sun and their orientation therefore changes from east to west during the day.
To grow well, sunflowers need full sun. They grow best in fertile, moist, well-drained soil with a lot of mulch. In commercial planting, seeds are planted 45 cm (1.5 ft) apart and 2.5 cm (1 in) deep. Sunflower "whole seed" (fruit) are sold as a snack food.

This portulaca is one of the plants in my elevated garden bed. In anyone's garden, it requires virtually no care.

I took these on vivid and thought they were ruined but ran them through capture and changed over to neutral and low and behold this one's pretty nice. Not totally sharp on the wing but not bad for hand held.
This one was very shy. I slowly approached it over and over again only to have it fly off. Finally it let me get this close. Thanks to dragonflyriri andcotinis for the ID help.

praying mantis with recently decapitated mate on a chain link fence with morning glory vines.
I photographed this voracious lady on two successive days. On the first date the male was still connected to the female. See www.flickr.com/photos/96804954@N00/9766113251/in/photolis....
On the second day the male was gone and the female had an obviously distended abdomen. See www.flickr.com/photos/96804954@N00/10788036783/in/photoli....
After 3 weeks with no time for dragonflies, I finally had an hour for myself 2 days ago...
This year has been amazing for dragonflies. And from what I've seen... it's far from being finished !

Après 3 semaines sans avoir le temps de m'occuper des libellules, j'ai réussi à me dégager un moment avant hier. C'est une année absolument exceptionnelle pour les libellules dans la Manche, et d'après ce que j'ai vu... c'est très loin d'être fini.
