As I took the shot I could hear the calls of the flying Canadian geese. I couldn't see where the were but when you look at the left side of the shot you can see two birds.
I waited for it and there they were. I had to shoot quickly because it is so easy to miss them with you phone camera. I am shooting blind.
I waited for it and there they were in the V formation flying over the house. I don't know how many are honking but they do take turns as there is continual honking.
Down on the ground I went on to help with breakfast, making coffee. I got frustrated and put my camera down for a while as the hummingbirds just would flit in and out and I just wasn't getting good light or good shots. Then it happened as theis one sat on the feeder and gazed up to see if anyone was flying her way.
The woman of the house next door frowns when she talks about what her husband did to a perfectly established set of iris. He thought they look too crowded but they were not. They ended up not having blooms. He thinned and removed so much that the last bits of iris had no base for blooming. I looked over while mowing this morning and I saw this. The woman must have bought a reblooming iris and here it is blooming in August. I had to shoot the photo through the narrow slot of the fence. I see next to this plan is the struggling older iris trying to regroup. I bet it will bloom next season right along to this new one.
I got out my weed trimmer this morning and did some serious work. I finally got to the job and I did the best I could until it got to be too hot out there. I could return in another week and maybe touch it up with anything that is left. The weeds had taken over in a lot of my gardens.
It is Friday and I am ready for a quiet evening. Thanks for stopping by today.
