Evening drive for ice cream

here are some recent photos from a drive to Douglas Harbour and a walk around my yard

A week of firsts

This truly was a week of firsts. Thursday was the first time I saw a fawn suckling on its mother (sorry for the poor quality, but this photo was at the extreme end of my effective zoom). Later Thursday was the first time I was almost blown away by the wind, when a Kansas style storm blew through and finally on the weekend I got my first picture of the snowball clearwing hummingbird moth ( the butterflies are just a bonus). I have been seeing this moth in my lilacs every year since 1995
