Happy Monday everyone,
As July marches on, I have been enjoying the flowers outside my windows on the deck and around our yard. It has been hot and dry here, so we are having to water our plants often.
Some blooms around the yard, the Purple Coneflowers, Zinnias, Red Salvia, Lantana and Upright Fuchsia called Firecracker.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are zipping around the yard, I am refilling my hummer feeders every other day. Can you find the 2 hummers below, the feeder is hanging near our butterfly bush?
A few of my yard birds, the male Cardinal, Great Crested Flycatcher, Eastern Bluebird, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Sootywing Butterfly on Zinnia.
The male Eastern Bluebird seen in his usual perch spot on the gutter above the birdhouse. I think the baby Bluebirds have fledged, they left without me even seeing one of their babies.
Sometimes I would see both the male and female sitting on the gutter that is right above the birdhouse. I assume they were taking a break..
The Common Sootywing is a black butterfly with speckled white spots on the wings. The Zinnia is looking pretty with lots of blooms.
I have seen a few different birds in my yard recently, I think this one was a juvenile Great Crested Flycatcher.
We had one of our large pine trees just fall over in our yard, so it is a mess to clean up. It fell on top of our blueberry bushes, a very sad sight to see.

In Maryland, we are still required to wear our mask in public areas and to keep the social distance. The numbers of positive cases, deaths and hospitalizations are going down in Maryland. The reopening of schools in Maryland maybe up to each community or county. We are thankful for all the essential workers, especially the health care workers. I hope everyone takes care and is safe, happy and healthy.
What's happening in your corner of the world? Please check out and visit the following memes and links. I hope to see you there.
