Just one neighborhood kitty

 "Lynn, does this kitty have a name fur me it call it?"

It is lying on the padded glidder above.  A bit hard to spot

sometimes.

I don't know what the kitty's name is, Precious.

It is a very pale ginger cat with lots of white tummy and legs.

So it is not easy to photograph while respecting it's

private yard.

I just see it on it's front porch on occasion when I walk in

our community.  It isn't always outside and I hope that

means it goes into the house for love and food.

"I live to go out on my catio now that I've become

accustomed to it.  But I do not want to roam away

fur-om you and my home.  And since I'm

in the back yard, no hoomans can spy on me."

My rose of Sharon early in the morning.

An hour later and it was probably 1/2 gone,

Japanese Beetles are horrible about eating these

flowers.  Thankfully my 5 bushes are large and

bloom into Sept.  The beetles are not out that long.

Above are two different wild honey bees on the same

bird bath.  There is a hive near by and on the very hot and

very sunny days,  the bees swarm the bird baths.  They

take their full bellies of water home and then spend their

time fanning their wings to help cool the hive.  When it

has been cloudy and rainy, they do not come at all.

The birds have learned to go to the other baths I have

throughout the yard that are in the shade.  No bees in

the shade.  I am so glad to see them.  I had them

like this 2 summers ago and none last year.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

It is much appreciated.
