I saw this tiny little flying insect in my garden this afternoon. Can anyone tell me what it is?
It moved constantly so I couldn’t really get a pic in focus with my iPhone. In the last pic, you can just barely see its wings.
I’ve never seen one of these before and was just fascinated with it so I hope somebody can clue me in!
Thanks.

Okay sweet sister, we’re gonna’ have to stop sending each other blogging award nominations or some of the nice folks out there in blog land (I know you’ll agree that the bloggers we’ve encountered so far are all very nice, except for that one, but we won’t talk about that) are going to start kicking up a fuss (not a very nice thing to do, just sayin’) about our relatedness and how us nominating each other has just gone too far and truly isn’t fair to unrelated bloggers.
Thank you Preacher’s Wife in the Know for sending me the Reader’s Appreciation Award. It’s always lovely to be recognized by ones peers.
Most blogging awards have a bunch of rules (this one is no exception) and, of course, I always abide by them. The rules for this one are simpler than most (not) so without further ado, they are:
So, I went a little overboard.
Couldn’t help it.
All of the blogs listed above are written by wonderful people as well as talented writers. Try them out and you’ll see what I mean.
Enjoy!

I’m lucky in that I get to work at home a couple of days a week. One of the nicest things about working at home is the view — my garden. Granted, it’s not the biggest or best looking garden in the world, but it sure beats the heck out a gray office wall.
You see, I live in a condo that’s a townhouse with a small garden area that is mostly my patio with a couple of small flower beds on either side of it that is wedged in between my house and carport. My love of gardens was a gift from my mom and my small garden is precious to me.
The flowers …I supplement the flower beds with containers of flowers scattered all around.
I like my garden. It’s peaceful. It’s sunny during the day and shaded in the evening. It’s homey. It’s mine to do with as I please. (Well, technically, the bank owns a small part of it, but it’s mostly mine.) One of things I like most about my little garden, and gardens in general really, is the art folks place within them.
The art …We all have our preferences for garden art. Some of us like statues of Greek gods and some like little bunnies.
Me, I like them all. 
For example, I like vintage plant stands and almost anything done in wrought iron, especially wall art. I like kitties, and bunnies, and turtles, too. I adore my St. Francis statue and my rusted tin cat.
And, peace overwhelms me every time I look at my little cross.
Do you indulge in garden art? I hope so.
I love my flowers, but my garden art adds personality that the flowers alone can’t convey.

Oh, almost forgot, what’s in your garden? What is it about your garden that makes you smile every time you take a peek at it?
