I found this tiny (about a quarter inch) moth on June 7th while watering my raised planters. It flew from the salvia onto another leaf.

Virginia buttonweed: a tiny, white wildflower, as cute as, well, a button!
DeKalb County (Avondale Estates), Georgia, USA.
8 June 2024.
***************
▶ "Diodia virginiana — commonly known as Virginia buttonweed — is a plant species in the bedstraw family Rubiaceae, native to south-central and southeastern United States (and Mexico, Nicaragua, and Cuba). It can be found in swamps, wet meadows, marshes, coastal prairies, and in the mud along streams and ponds.
Virginia buttonweed is a branching, sprawling plant with small white star-shaped flowers (⅕ inch or 5 mm) of 4 petals apiece, that blooms in summer and fall. The leaves are often mottled because of a virus that attacks the foliage. The plant has thick roots by which it can spread vegetatively, thus it often shows up as a weed in lawns and other disturbed areas."

▶ Photographer's note:
It's a closeup. The tiny flower appears much larger in this image than it did in 'real' life. Just don't call it a weed!

Northern Saw-whet Owl
A tiny owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is practically bursting with attitude.
Ontario, Canada
This photo of a tiny European Skipper butterfly was taken on 23 July 2015, at Darryl Teskey's property. These unusual butterflies have such large eyes : )
"The eyes of Skippers are different from those of other butterflies. They have a space between the cones and rods which allows light from each ommatidium to spill into neighbouring rods, effectively increasing their resolution and sensitivity. As a result Skippers can fly very accurately from one spot to another. This different type of eye structure is one of the reasons why taxonomists place them in a different super-family to all other butterflies - the Hesperioidea."

On this day, five of us spent the day botanizing the land belonging to Darryl Teskey, SW of Calgary and W of Millarville (maybe a 40-minute drive from Calgary). This was the first time I had been there and I'm so glad I was invited to go - I would have missed all sorts of things, including a family of Ruffed Grouse and several fungi. These Grouse were the rare rufous-morph, and we startled them when we were walking through the forest in their direction. Usually, you don't see Grouse because they are so well-hidden. When you get fairly close (sometimes very close) to them, they suddenly "explode" from the tangle of shrubs and plants of the forest floor, making ones heart beat fast! We were taken by surprise when we came across a nearby statue of Saint Francis of Assisi, who is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment. A nice idea, I thought.
Our walk took us over grassland and through forest, many places treacherous with so many fallen logs which were often barely visible. I have never, ever seen so many tiny Skipper butterflies - there must have been hundreds or even thousands of these bright orange beauties that were flying or perched on flowers of every colour.
Fortunately, the rain stayed away until we started driving back to Calgary. Quite a lot of black clouds, reminding me of the tornado that passed through Calgary just the day before (22 July 2015).
Our purpose, as always, was to find and list everything that we saw - wildflowers, trees, grasses, birds, insects, fungi, etc.. Our leader then compiles an extensive list of our finds and this is later sent to the landowner, along with any photos that we might take. Always a win/win situation, as the landowner then has a much better idea of just what is on his property, and we have a most enjoyable day.
These tiny but beautiful portulaca flowers were found growing against the wall in the joints of our patio,
This sweetheart was really tiny. Believe me: it looks much larger in the picture.

Have you noticed that tiny houses are a big thing? I was watching a home improvement show where people were trading in their normal sized home for a tiny house about the size of one room, some of them were in a tree. No doubt, they are very cute but I wondered how can you live in such a small space with your spouse or kids and not go crazy. There is barely enough room to have a good stretch and a yawn in the morning. I was not surprised to read in a recent article that many tiny house dwellers are regretting their tiny house. Some are even feeling anxiety from living in such small confines. Thankfully, there is a cure, you sell the tiny house and get a normal house.

Happened to stop by Crabtree Preserve yesterday and saw these little birds enjoying the feeders. There was another photographer at the scene. He was happy to see us and gave us a standing ovation :)
Black Capped Chickadee

I found this tiny church in Bonnyville totally by chance. The roof is curling, paint is peeling and windows covered. A bit of research reveals it is Sts Peter and Paul Parish, Bonnyville AB Russian Orthodox

Many thanks for all of the Favs, comments and views HMM.
Wrens are medium-small to very small birds. The Eurasian wren is among the smallest birds in its range, while the smaller species from the Americas are among the smallest passerines in that part of the world..Wrens explore shady, overgrown places on or near the ground, for small insects and spiders. They are well known for their unusually loud, vibrant songs. Males make several nests, from which the female chooses one in which to lay her eggs.
