Crumbly Acres Fruits and Critters

 Aw, cherry tomatoes! 

The zucchini is coming along. I tried to figure out what the insect was, but it was too fast for me.

As far as I can tell,  we've 3 or 4 Freds out and about. Auntie Fred is tolerating a kit near her burrow. There were two on the lower deck burrow.

🦷 Trust Joe Brian to make me laugh. Apparently, I'm not too old for a visit from the tooth fairy. I've an appointment Monday. We shall see. I chipped my cracked tooth eating salmon and salsa salad. Seriously. We knew it was cracked. The options were a crown, root canal, or pulling it. 

This helps me drink water. Tis painful when cold hits it.

Everyone watching for danger!

This is Barry's trailcam, #75 was here.

And Barry himself gnawing on the branch! I don't know when it switched to photos. I do like watching their behaviour.

We've had a Butch Raccoon with a blond colouring. Here she is. Cinnamon was in the grass, and leapt out with speed and vigour!

   

 Fred is ticking off the Phoebe family!

Saturday's Critters # 444

We will begin with the porcupine bum!

This is my last video of the sweet phoebes! They flew that day or the next morning. I've seen the odd one around since. One was back under the deck at the nest.

She seems pregnant! I was sitting on the back deck, and saw her come along  moving west from the east. Later in the afternoon, she came back and headed west.

There were two coyotes! In the thumbnail you can see the one on the right, foreground. There is another one on the far left background.

And last but definitely the most, our bear! I think it is a bat flying about, too.
