So we start last Sunday around Church time...
 |
I don't know what's different about the latest batch of bird seed, but the Mafia has been absolutely nuts
|
Then, a brief and humid walk, featuring a clan of baby squirrels...
Now, on to Thursday...
 |
This idiot tried to climb up the side of the screen after the new window hanger. He gave me a dirty look when he slid down...
|
 |
We did attempt a walk that night....
|
 |
"Like a sauna out here..."
|
 |
Not much use for the camera- you'd think...
|
 |
Tonight's thing you don't usually see...
|
Then to Friday... back with the Patio Pigs...
 |
But first, an attempt at a Bark Park visit- in air you could swim through
|
 |
Fascinated watching this neighbor loading bunches of bags into her car
|
 |
"I think I just saw a fish go by..."
|
 |
Later, during a double food coma...
|
 |
A semi-smarter chipmunk climbing the screen itself... but not able to figure out how to get to the feeder
|
 |
This time, either
|
 |
Almost missed the stars of our show- Mrs Eminence and the newbie- a little blue nuthatch
|
 |
Supersonic chip
|
 |
The mating pair feeding each other
|
Okay, now for today's walk- with only one Patio Pigs shot!
 |
Down the street, concrete being poured
|
 |
That's new- a neighbor got an owie
|
 |
Cracks me up- our lawn service put up a bunch of these blue flags of theirs three weeks ago, and spent the last two weeks mowing them down
|
 |
Oh, look, the neighbor's brand plate
|
 |
I'm thinking new ownership might want to work on this
|
 |
Adopt-a-trail clean up crew
|
 |
Only way I can catch a goldfinch anymore- on the fly
|
 |
Must be a big disc golf event today...
|
 |
Even the disc doggies are here
|
 |
We had storms from roughly 0230 AM till about 4. Not a lot of damage here, though.
|
 |
The Froghunter disappointed again
|
 |
River's definitely up
|
 |
Today's oddity- one sock
|
 |
Same old fisherman, same old spot
|
 |
At least someone's getting use from the new airstrip
|
 |
Not much up at the Pond, just the crane...
|
 |
...and the broken winged goose...
|
 |
...which of course got Misty's attention
|
 |
Beside us, the doggie discers. Before us, we were warned, "The bugs are waking up!"
|
 |
We were watching these guys. First guy up aimed... aimed... aimed... aimed... and fired, immediately hitting the very first tree. He hung his head, reached into his bag for another disc, and promptly spiked it straight into the ground.
|
Definitely a disc event going on. We passed no fewer than five groups just going straight up the trail in the woods.
 |
Meanwhile, here's that concrete- someone getting a new back deck
|
 |
Had to rip out a tree, a bush, and a LOT of concrete to get it...
|
 |
Red mudflaps on a white car, lol.
|
 |
And finally, a brief appearance from Woody
