It was early June and the hummingbirds were coming regularly to the feeder.
A dragonfly on the hanging pot post. I don’t see orange ones often.
Squirrels being cute and annoying me constantly trying to get up on the feeder.
Another turtle trying to lay eggs in the backyard. Or this might be the same one who tried to lay eggs here last month. There’s a pond behind us but it’s 2 buildings down from our townhouse building and there is one across the fairway. Either way she has come a long way. She ended up not laying any eggs.
I took this with my phone through the kitchen window. A bunny was on the front sidewalk.
The house finch family was still coming to the feeder.
A cardinal looking pretty.
One morning I looked out the window and saw this. A red shoulder hawk was getting a drink from the bird bath. All of the little birds had disappeared. He didn’t stay long.
Things blooming in the yard included a tahitian gardenia, the fingernail plants and the sunflower plant (before the squirrel destroyed it).
I inherited the above bird house from a neighbor that recently moved and I hung it outside on the back wall. I haven’t seen any birds go in (not expecting to) but one morning I saw the frog sticking his head out. I guess it’s his house now.
We had several days of rain and one day I was outside cleaning up the front courtyard and noticed this frog on the front door. He was in between the glass door and the wood door (there is a small gap if you don’t shut the glass door hard). I propped open the door and later I came back out and he was gone so I closed the glass door tight.
Summer skies from the backyard.
