The August 1st picture of The Puddle Pond. Trying to keep the lilypad under control could be a full time job. There hasn't been any spraying from the john boat; instead, cutting the stems and hauling in with a large rake attached to a rope. The severed lilypads are left along the banks of the pond to rot and dry.
Not sure if this is a heron or an egret or if they are the same thing. I will need to research the differences on the internet and let you know. This fellow will "fish" in the pond if left to his own devices.
The easiest way to get rid of him? Clap your hands and off he goes to the neighbor's pond.
The little fawn that had taken up residence in the backyard moved to the front yard. It grazes on the grass and weeds and then moves to the trees on the other side of the driveway to lay down and rest. When disturbed by humans, it moves quickly into the woods on the wooded side of the property. The fawn hasn't visited for two days. I miss seeing it but am hoping that it has gotten mature enough to stay with it's Mother during the day and learn the ropes of how to be a big deer.
It was incredibly hot and humid here until recently, the kind of heat that saps your energy. That's my excuse for not posting more frequently this month and I'm sticking to it. A coworker, ES, checks the blog frequently and recently mentioned it was time for a new post. Here you go ES, this one is for you. I have some pictures from a recent day trip to Anapolis, MD that I will post soon.
Hope you are enjoying summer so far.
