The humming birds came back this week, and have been very busy at the feeder. I haven't been able to get a good close up - they are so fast and we don't have a suitable camera, so I am using a free wallpaper. We just love these little guys and I will keep trying to get a shot of the ones who have chosen to live with us.
This week there have been more birds and animals than usual. We usually see a deer or two driving home, and we even had a buck who liked to hang out in the shade of the car port last spring, but on Thursday there were 9 deer on our route home from work. No fawns, but plenty of adults. Our friend Linda found a handsome antler discarded on her lawn.
There must be a herring run because there has been literally hundreds of gulls at the beach at the end of our road, and we saw 14 eagles on a sand bank watching the water. At least 20 seals and sea lions, rolling and waving their flippers. I can hear their barking as I write this.
And of course the frogs are in full throat these days. It is great.
So I am off for a stroll, and this time will bring my camera.

Love the pics of the birds. Now doesn't this make you glad you expanded your pond? That is awesome that you can hear the seals from your place. Brings back memories of Pepper and I having tea and snoozing across the street at the park!
