Today is the 5th day that the temperature has been at or above 30C (86F). Too hot for us northerners! The province is on a total fire ban with about 120 fires currently burning. Fortunately, the closest to us is about 30 km away.
Yesterday I sat on the deck in the shade and enjoyed the sunshine.
I watched this Spruce Beetle for a while. They don't bite, but if they think you are a spruce tree, they will and it hurts. They take a big chunk out.
I think this is a juvenile Pine Grosbeak. If so, they must have laid eggs early. He is pretty scrawny and not street smart yet.
Hi! I came by to return the blog visit and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on mine. I've been scrolling through some of your posts and have to say that your photography is absolutely fantastic. May I ask what kind of camera you have? I'd love to be able to take pictures like that.
