softball season is here

these are a few of my favorite beasts

This is my favorite cat picture I've taken since being at my parents' . . . or maybe ever. Right before I snapped the picture, she rolled her eyes at me. The nerve!

a brown-headed nuthatch getting a sunflower seed

little squirrel that gradually got closer and closer the longer I sat outside

a chickadee and titmouse share a snack

a female downy at dad's suet feeder out front

mom (not a beast!) and her new laptop that I've been blogging from

crazy Enjoli

pretty Lynx in the evening sunlight

Solomon hiding from me under dad's car

wild things

the trumpet vine on my front porch - a favorite of the borer bees that are slowly destroying the porch!

my perennials are back with a vengeance - makes me want to plant more!

yep, they're wild too!
