Black and White Friday - #5

Have you all been enjoying the summer?  We sure have!  Today was a beautiful day with sunshine and breezes!!  The breeze was especially welcome as it cooled down the crazy temperature! ;)   

Crackle is enjoying his second summer. 

 These two photos were taken from far away to get only the middle in focus.  It looks kinda neat. (And all my photos looks much better if you click on them!)

What have you seen this summer?  :)

Frost and Cardinals

This morning was yet another frosty morning.  Probably because the ground was SO wet and so everything just froze overnight.


I nearly had to treat a little Cardinal this afternoon.  It flew into our window and was stunned for a few seconds.  It yelled in pain so I went out to check and see if it had broken it's wing(yes, I know how to do this.... thanks to an AMAZING book).  I could've gotten it too but just then our dogs came bounding upon the site and it flew off.  Luckily it's wing was not damaged but I noticed it wasn't putting much weight on one foot.  Oh well.  If it can fly, it should survive.  :)  

Here are some more frosty pictures I took from this morning:

 A neat sunrise picture.  :)
