Now for something completely different. Greenery.

No, not a Shrubbery just greenery. I'm planting Pawpaw to attract my favorite Swallowtail butterfly, the Zebra. I was given  several Pawpaw fruits last year and put the seeds in damp compost in the fridge for 100 days or so to stratify. I then potted them this spring and so far only one of the 20 or so has sprouted. Hopefully a few more will pop up. Here's a few iPhone shots of some greenery for a change from birds,

One of my favorite trees in the yard is the Catalpa or Cigar Tree, every year in June it's covered in these lovely white flowers with a beautiful smell that reminds me of Frangipani flowers.
