Bits and Pieces

It Has been a slow couple of weeks with temperatures in the 30C range. Too hot to do much outside other than watering the garden and taking drives. This is our new flower garden/ pumpkin patch  somewhere in there ,there are pumpkins growing.
We also had a good crop of sunflowers. If you look close, you will see a bee sleeping through the +6C night. The sun warmed him up and he continued on with his pollinating.
There was a cocky Magpie in our neighbour's Mountain Ash tree watching me very closely.
Elaine finally finished her most elaborate crochet project to date...a baby blanket.

I may have posted this Kingfisher with crayfish before, but I like the shot.
More and more mule deer are coming out to feed, and likely to get away from the mosquitos.

The old crow found something tasty, at least for him


The doe Mule Deer look healthy




This family of ducks is also looking good
The Great Blue Heron thought I couldn't see him!  just couldn't get closer.
