Random Pictures From the Yards
I took these pictures on various days in the past few weeks in my yards. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird was up in the lakeshore Oak that has a branch hanging over the water. A cool spot for the little bird. The insects are Swallow-Tail Butterflies and a Dragonfly. I have enjoyed seeing a variety of animals, birds, and insects here this year and hope to have many more such pretty and interesting visitors in coming months. The weather is hot, there are many boats and swimmers out on the lake and my yard looks fairly chaotic due to the ongoing construction of the new dock. The new dock is nearly done but there still are several tick-list items to go before we can say “Done”. Today’s post will be the last one for about a month. I am taking a break from blogging for some well-deserved time off. The blog will resume in the first week of October. Please click on the thumbnail image to see the larger picture. Please consider donating to the American Red Cross or other similar disaster relief agency to help those who likely may be adversely affected by the coming Hurricane Irene along the East Coast. Many thanks! To my East Coast blog friends, I am thinking of you and hope all will be well.
