Cinnamon and the House Wrens have an understanding. They yell at him from the tree, or the lilac bush, or the hops vine, and they follow him to where he sits in the shade. He just ignores them. I know when he is out and about, and I tucked him back into the house. He knows he hasn't a hope of catching them.

Last week, Cinnamon and I went walkies in the back 40, prior to the rain. The ground was so cracked and dry.
House wren chicks beg for food. I cannot see them. It is a joy to hear them.

In they come, chicks yell, out they come to forage for some more moths.

I took the opportunity to photograph some birds. I could see the Baltimore Oriole Scarlet Tanager from the deck. I don't know why I always mix that up. He wasn't too cooperative! I'm too slow. I even wore my reading glasses.

Bird photography is hard and requires both patience and long lenses to do well. I have neither patience nor long enough lenses.

Oooh, I particularly relished watching the Goldfinches today... but that does not lessen the joy of all other offerings! YAM xx
Cinnamon makes for good company on a walk.
The lilies are beautiful. There seem to be very few birds around here or they are being quiet.
Great company on the walk, lovely ferns on the aside. And those lilies, gorgeous,.
lol, that´s fun. Some birds are brave when they know they can´t be catched :)
Yet another beautiful post. Thank you. And hooray for reading in the pool.
...I rarely see goldfinch, but yesterday there was a pair chasing each other. Enjoy your summer, it's slipping by quickly.
It is so lovely there
Healing visit, thank you
I've greatly enjoyed your videos with Cinnamon, gold finches, and wren feeding babies.
So you went swimming with the koi? Linda in Kansas
Love the yellow birds. And the green birdhouses!
Enjoyed the walk you and Cinnamon took, but that ground was truly parched. Love those lilies. Glad you didn't get caught in just a shirt while in the pond.
