The Canada Geese have had a very good year.
Back at home, the hops vine is growing madly. It loves the climb, and the critters love it. Poor photo, but you can see the little tree frog hiding in the corner.
Then there is the Catalpa tree, in full bloom.
The morning cloak butterfly has been a regular visitor, but to the hummingbird feeder! Funnily enough, Mr. Rose-breasted grosbeak thought he'd check out the feeder, as well.
We have been serenaded by the Baltimore oriole in the backyard trees.
The dead elm trees gets many visitors, what with the bugs, where they sing lustily! Cedar waxwings and nuthatches.
July 1st, I woke early. Annie was playing with a mouse on the bed. I picked it up, to put it outside, and spotted a skunk. Sitting outside, playing on my computer, I spotted a buck.
Finally, let me vent. This man drove up behind me as I parked and got out of the car. He was talking on his cell phone (illegal), then left his van running (never heard of climate change) while he ran into the general store.

Oh my word, all things I have yet to see! Sigh, will just have to get back over and for longer! YAM xx
You have a great area for birds. I haven't seen an oriole or rose breasted grosbeak for more than 20 years.
Thoughtless human being- as humans usually are.
The skunk's fine... unless startled!
beautiful birdies and such cute critters!! i love dining outdoors, enjoy the long weekend!!!
I have a not so funny skunk story. When we lived in Los Angeles we had a kitty door for our cat to use to get in and out. Behind us there was a natural hill with trees and bushes. On occasion something other than our cat would wander in (we finally had to discontinue using the door much to the chagrin of our new indoor only cat). One of the visitors was a skunk. I was used to chasing out neighbour cats, but when I clapped my hands at this black and white striped cat eating from the food dish in the kitchen, I realized my mistake. I quietly backed out of the house to the garage and waited a long time. When I went back inside the skunk was through eating and had exited back out through the same kitty door. If I had provoked a spray, now that would have been a tragic ending to the story. - Margy
There is a place somewhere with a causeway one can walk across. We were there years ago but can't find it again. We thought it was Rideau Ferry, but when we drove there awhile ago discovered that it wasn't. If you have a clue what I'm on about, please message me as it is driving us crazy.
