Rain and the fox

Monday was a wet one.  I had garbage to put out for 7 a.m., but it was pretty.




The goldfish pond is over flowing, with 7 (?) happy goldfish. There is one large green frog, too.



A bit of a messy lawn from the heavy equipment during our tree clean up, but it is shallow soil, and it was a fine place to store the vehicles. 


I finally did the lawn on a sunny afternoon. Bouncing over the divots in the grass, I was glad to have on my sports bra!


I love this morning sun reflection.

The fox is a frequent visitor. She's headed back to the highway and parts unknown...


I finally figured out what the fox was doing in the night in the backyard. She was going after little leopard frogs! The humidity clouds the lens, but you get the idea. Watch for the giant leap!
 


After all that rain!

This is not normal weather that we are experiencing.

We really haven't had much rain here although they keep forecasting for it.

Rain can be so welcome when there are fires and drought. It makes your world beautiful!

Cherish the monarch caterpillars. There is a prediction that the monarch butterfly may be extinct by the end of the century. It's a sad world.
