Hot and muggy again

The Butterfly feeds on the milkweed.
A wild sunflower blooms.
The Mandrake or Mayapples are dying off, but you can see the "apple". This be off the beaten path for the deer because it hasn't been eaten.

Out and about ...

Off to the races! Grenville saw this Fox and started the chase. A few minutes later I started whistling for him when he returned to the trail but totally ignored me. It turned out to be another dog, white with a black eye and ear, As Grenville came out of the brush next to me. I don't know where he came from or went, but it was strange since he was very like Grenville.
Eyed brown out just enjoying a warm pleasant day
After last nights rain the creek runs wild again.

Unbearable HOT this week



The Chief Troll under the bridge waiting for people, children, rabbits, foxes whatever to cross his bridge and pay the toll. This shows the only relief for the past several days. We have been making very short walks with few picture ops.Sun light shines through even in the forest.

The webs we weave. Ok They weave.

4th of July ... more or less

A wild sunflower before someone cuts them like they did last year.
This is as close to fireworks as I get both in time and space.
Just add to the myth that there are more twins being born by the local deers.

Waxwing, Deerlings, Fox

Took a walk on the south side of Hi Tor today. This is a trail I have not been on in over 5 years. The walk up to Camp #1 was dull, but a pleasant day for a walk.
On the way back this fox was sitting in the road waiting for us. When we got to where he had been sitting Grenville took notice and went wild. I told him he could not chase the fox and he didn't. By this time I think he was just too tired.
When we got near the car we found these 2 bambis in the road. I finally shooed them away fearing Grenville would find them to be play things. Never did see mama. She was probably standing behind me ready to bash my head in if need be.
