Due to the heat, when we weren't doing lawn and garden chores, we were just veggin' out inside in air conditioned comfort, so the pictures I took this week were of what I saw while walking Patches in the evening. Hitch itch is starting to set in, folks. Seriously. It's time to get on the road!!! Two more months. *Pathetic sigh*.
Tall bellflowers wave in the breeze along the creek bed here at the campground and provide the lone color along the banks.
This rather tattered and worn Red Admiral butterfly escaped Patches' attention (and tendency to eat what she traps between her paws) so he lived to fly another day.
I'm still working on getting a good picture of some of the many spider webs that I discover in my walks with Patches. I believe this spider to be the Micrathena sagittata or Arrowhead Micrathena, but it was too high in the tree for me to get a good look.
You have to look closely to spot the wild strawberries growing in the weeds at the back of the campground (Patches' favorite wandering spot as there as feral cats back there).
I hated cicada shells as a child as my dad would use them to chase us. Scary looking things that are uglier than the real insect, this one was hanging from the twine that surrounds Denny's father's garden.
Our youngest granddaughter, Kara, in a quiet moment. Very rare.

I envy you for your family reunion weekend. My sisters and their families are stretched across Canada.. from one end to the other. How I would love to get us all together with all of our kids at the same time. Burgers and Beer would be perfect. :-)
I always enjoy the photos from your and Patch's strolls. I have even started to look for spider webs of my own to snap.. haven't found any that match yours yet. :-)
Kara is too adorable!
