The little brown bat hiding out under the deck. This is a little bit more in focus than last year's attempt, but still not perfect. It's pretty dark under there.
My mom and I with my grandmother's picture in the background. We had a private memorial at my aunt's house on what would have been my grandmother's 95th birthday.
My mom, cousin Mary and aunt Anne getting ready to cut the cake. In the background is my uncle, Butch.
The male Western bluebird with food for his babies. I wasn't able to see how many nestlings are in the box. I think they must be close to fledging by now.
It took some hill traversing, but we were able to get to the few paintbrush plants on our hill. They are in full bloom and so pretty.
A beautiful rusty colored moth. I saw him on the patio and thought it was another chipping sparrow that had hit the window. This moth is huge!
What to do with all the rhubarb the remaining plant is producing??? Make gingered rhubarb jam. Yummy and so pretty, too.
It's been raining everyday for 3 weeks. This morning it rained and then cleared up for a bit. We went looking for mushrooms and found them.
