Yet another soggy day, but the lilies offer a splash of colour.
.
And breakfast time brought a new visitor to the patio.
.
Baby Red!
A miniature version of its parent.
And twice as stroppy!
.
Another Baby Red came to the porch and attempted to climb up to the bird feeder, so we decided it must be a descendant of the original Little Red.
Baby Red needs to grow a bit more. I didn’t get its photo but I have many of grandma who was a special friend.
.
We have not yet seen raccoon babies but we often have this sweet face gazing at us through the glass door.
.
I love to watch those long fingers!
.
The woodpecker population appears to have increased.
.
One afternoon I had a chance to capture two at once.
.
A wren nested in the garage this year and I enjoyed hearing her chatter when I went to get the suet feeder, but her babies fledged and they seem to have departed for the wider world.
.
If I remember correctly, June is a good month for spiderwebs.
Mostly it’s been too wet this year and the examples I got yesterday were modest.
.
But there is beauty in simplicity.
.
It is predicted that next week we shall have sunshine and hot weather which is much more usual for this time of year.
But we have a wet week ahead.
Supposedly.
.
Thank you so much, Carolyn, for the heartwarming pictures of your dinners! Good that they and you are enjoying the summer.

The baby reds are gorgeous! We have had a large grey squirrel visiting our garden for some time now, and I spotted him/her yesterday, rummaging for things he/she might have buried. The heatwave continues here, with no rain forecast for a week or more, and temperatures up to 32C by Sunday.
Best wishes, Pete.
I can let you have as many cobwebs as you want…I have them everywhere!
Oh, don’t talk about soggy – it’s wet and miserable here in Cape Town (typical winter weather that I’ve almost forgotten about). It’s lovely to see a Baby Red – they are so adorable! And isn’t it amazing how comfortably the woodpeckers can hang and eat from the suet feeders!
Sunny here. Don’t worry, it won’t last.
Love the vibrant yellow!
