Around the House

  It has been a delightful day for Pepper Jax. He loves being outside and chases the birds and squirrels. He also likes to just lay down in the grass and watch these critters doing their thing until it gets too much for him and he has to try and catch them. And, sadly for the few birds, he has caught the birds and killed them. While it is hard to believe, I suspect they never had a chance once he had them in his sights
 


  My lily flowers have been beautiful this year. I have seldom seen the colors so intense and the details so crisp. The common ditch lilies have been nice and abundant, as usual, but the rest have been outstanding.

  The fly on this lily caused me to turn and decide to try and capture it against the bright yellow color. You can click on the flower and see and enlargement and decide if it was worth trying or not.




Most images were taken with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3i and a Tamron Piezo Drive, 18-270mm lens

No, he does like to chase birds and sometimes he catches one but not often. I am slowly loosing interest in blogging. There are no people who visit anymore.

I remember very well the first time I visited your blog, I could watch "the Uggly cat". I think it was in 2006 after I creat mine. I do not understand why any people do not come and visit you.

The three weeks of high temps and humidity put us in greenhouse mode and all our flowers and veggies are the best ever. Looks like yours are too.
