Blossoms & Critters

I can't help myself......I have a passion for flowers and the wild life seen around our place. I spent the morning cleaning out the fish pond, filling the hummingbird feeders, and watching a squirrel scamp around in the back yard....and admiring the many blooms around the perimeter of the house. I know, I post flowers all the time and some may look like repeats, but I just have to capture their beauty. I will be able to look back at these pictures and enjoy them long after the heat and dryness wilts them away, and/or the freeze and snow come to bite them back.

The fish seem to be enjoying the clean water.

You can't see it, but there is a squirrel up this tree.

Now he is on the ground, but you still can't see him.

There he is....he doesn't seem to mind that I am getting closer.

And, closer...

Oh, and hey there.......he stood up for me.
