Another batch of baby Bluebirds almost ready to fledge.
There were 4 eggs in this nest. This will bring our total to 21 once they fledge. We have another box with 5 eggs. It’s been a busy year at the farm :)
I love my Zinnias. 
We always have plenty of cut flowers. Last year I put Zinnia seeds all around the vegetable garden. I thought it would make it look prettier. Unfortunately the flowers got larger than I thought and spread a little…Al was not too happy my flowers took over his garden. I was told NO flowers were going to be allowed in this years garden. Well I didn’t plant any (honest) but it seems the seeds from last years flowers came up anyway…and you guessed it. Al has flowers in his garden…again :)
He knows better than to kill them, so he just grumbles a lot!

Yesterday, while I was inside reading blogs, I heard “Ivan the Terrible” squawking like crazy. He’s our Mockingbird and he was after a squirrel. It seemed the squirrel was in the peach tree trying to steal a peach and Ivan didn’t want him there. I was a little concerned that the squirrel may have been after a baby Mockingbird, so I went outside and helped Ivan scare off the squirrel. Once the squirrel left the area of the peach tree, Ivan went about his business.
We certainly have a nature lovers paradise here and we will certainly miss it when we go on the road in the motor home.
A fox picture to end up with :)

Those baby bluebirds are just adorable...what a face!!! Your Zinnias are just beautiful. I tried to grow some in my garden last year (when in S&B) and mine always wanted to grow too tall and fall over. Not as pretty as yours!
Great pics from you nature preserve!!!

Those baby birds were so cute. You really managed to get some great close-up shots of them.
Zinnias are awesome and always make summer seem cheerful (even in a veggie garden) :)
OMG those cute little baby bluebirds! They are just adorable.
I too live in a beautiful place, and sometimes wonder why I have a yen to go on the road in a big ol RV. The weather here is almost perfect, and I keep reading about the heat, rain and storms elsewhere!
But I'm determined to explore the country
