After a nice bike ride in the morning and working on the painting of Gettysburg, I spent some time in the yard. The yard can be a great place to think. Suzie, my springer spaniel, hasn’t been feeling well so I didn’t keep her out very long. Oh..the fun we had when she was a younger dog. She couldn’t wait to go outside. Now, I often need to coax her. I dread our futures.
Anyway, camera in hand, I took a number of photos in my yard and along the creek. The minnows are as big as eight inches in the deeper holes. They love it when I throw bread into the waters. I saw a number of Damselflies along the water and vegetation. They dart around and are difficult to catch on film.
I called in some crows. The young crows are out of the nests here. I stand by a tree and do some young crow caws in distress and the older birds bombard the trees. they are obviously concerned about their offspring.
In one area of my flower garden I noticed some colors that didn’t fit. A large moth was settled in. This unknown specie was about 3-3.5 inches in length.
