1. Aug 12, our walk to the lake with Miney and hubby. It is nice hubby is feeling up to more walks.
2. Aug 12th, it's been hard capturing a bird with my camera. I usually hear more than I see now. I did get a few shots of the Downy Woodpecker.
3. Aug 15th, a walk with Miney and Michael on the NCR trail. We saw lots of what looked like swamp sunflowers along the trail.
4. Seen on the NCR trail, there were lots of these flowers. I am guessing they are the Swamp Sunflowers?
5. Eastern Tiger Swallowtails were enjoying our Buddleia bush.
Sometimes Miney is on a long lead and will walk out on the driveway when the gate is open.
6. Aug 17, we took another walk on the Prettyboy fire road, hubby and Michael rested on a downed tree across the trail.
Aug 17, a mama deer with her fawn on our driveway. The spotted babies are so cute.

1. Aug 4th my walk with Miney to the lake. I found a Red-eared Slider Turtle and some Canada Geese across the lake.
2. Aug 6th, our walk with Miney on the NCR trail. Hubby was walking with us part of the way.
3. Aug 7th, A local Prettyboy fire road walk with Miney.
4. Aug 8th, another walk to the lake with Miney. We saw some Double-crested Cormorants and the Slider Turtles were a distance away. A Northern Flicker perched high on a tree.
I am sharing a closer look at the Northern Flicker in my yard, they are beautiful birds.
5. Aug 11th, I have been enjoying watching the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds zooming around my yard. The male likes to sit right on top of the feeder, he guards his feeder from all the other hummingbirds.
6. Below are the Monarch Butterfly, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail and the Black Swallowtail. There are times our buddleia bush is filled with butterflies, looks magical.
The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly sharing a bloom with a Black Swallowtail.
7. Flashback Florida 2017, The Roseate Spoonbill has a long flat spoon-shaped bill. This shot shows just how flat the bill is. The first three photos were taken at Lake Parker Park in Lakeland, Fl.
8. Immature Roseate Spoonbills are a paler pink. Their pink color is derived from their diet. They eat frogs and aquatic insects and very small fish. The next two images were taken at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland Fl.
The Roseate Spoonbills lately are showing up up and down the Atlantic Coast. I believe there were 4-5 in Delaware seen at Bombay Hook NWR and 5-6 in Southern Maryland.
Sept 15th, there was some excitement in our neighborhood, with a few of our neighbors helping a public works employee having to fend off a bear. The worker was checking out the health of trees in the watershed when a bear was bluff charging her, my neighbors were out walking their dog and tried helping the worker. We are not sure, maybe the bear had cubs it was protecting. The worker had some scratches from a fall and was driven back to the street in a neighbor's 4 wheeler and a policemen with a gun escorted our neighbors back to the road. We were at lunch with the family and missed all this excitement.
