We have a couple of scrub jays who have been frequenting the bird feeder. Â They are a little too big for the feeder and struggle to stay on it. Maralee
The Gymnast
I moved my bird feeder out as far as I could on the tree and the wily squirrel has still found ways to get to the feeder. Â He's a persistent little fellow. Maralee
Red Rock Canyon
If it hadn't been as hot as it was, it would have been fun to do some hiking at Red Rock Canyon. Â But, being that it was 110 degrees, that didn't happen. Â We did take a drive through the park though. Â We just missed sunset, although there was still a glow on the distant rocks. …
Butterfly
This little fellow was hopping from chives to chives one morning and I had to try photograph it. Â I didn't have time to set up my tripod so everything was hand-held. Â I don't think a tripod would have helped much because he kept moving around so quickly. Maralee
Such Noisy Birds
While I think blue jays are beautiful birds, they can also be very irritating. Â Especially at 5:00 in the morning on a Saturday when they sit outside my bedroom window and squawk endlessly. Maralee
