Here are a few things I saw this week
during a Second Look.
 |
| Day Lily. The day lily have been suffering under the heat we've been having and have just about stopped blooming. But I did find a bloom to share. What would a summer Second Look post be if I didn't start it with a picture of a day lily? |
 |
| Hosta. The deer have really been chomping away at all of the hosta this year in every part of the yard. However, here and there, a few of them have been able to bloom. |
 |
| Katydid nymph on marigold |
 |
| Surprise Lily. We only have two stocks of surprise lilies this year. Maybe the others will surprise us and come up later. |
 |
| The seed heads of the blanket flower are almost as pretty as the actual blooms. But it's time to do some dead heading if I want any more blooms. |
 |
| Swallowtail butterfly on marigold |
 |
| I saw this fawn early one morning exploring on its own. However, when it saw me, it took off in the direction of the rest of the herd. I like watching the older fawns because they act like any kid who is starting to feel their oats and are not always in the mood to listen to their mothers. |
 |
| Here's another one of those things that I was very excited about. The hummingbird was sticking out its tongue. If you look closely at its beak, you will see a break where the beak ends and the tongue begins. Its tongue is probably twice as long as what you see. |
