Busy times for those who like and appreciate the outdoors and coming up is a nice, long weekend to enjoy it! Please take a moment to remember all those who have and do sacrifice for the sake of the citizens of the United States.

Here are a few photos from the last week to get you into the “outdoors” frame of mind. The first two thanks to my sister – who is just as wacky as I am about nature and wildlife. Just goes to show you – there are “photo ops” everywhere…

This bug was spotted leaving the birdbath. His identity is as yet unknown. I’ve noticed that as the weather gets warmer, other bugs – some very beneficial to the environment – will stop by a local birdbath for a drink of fresh water. If you start a birdbath in your yard, please keep it fresh and clean during warm weather months. Birds, (and others) will learn they can depend on this source of water to be there for them.

Here’s a image I hope most of you will be able to see outside for the coming holiday weekend. If you’re in luck, bright blue skies and warm temperatures, without too much heat and humidity, will be available.

I’ll be home this weekend – no doubt tending the goose “drive-in window.” I have to wonder if this particular adult goose has figured out pretty quickly that tapping on that window is almost guaranteed to get my attention. She’s now showing the “children” how it is done!
