Videos: late summer life at the community pool

There is still not a lot happening at the moment so I am thankful even for little scenes.

I love Nasturtium and this year, it grows like crazy all over the yard (but also in a fenced-off section in my veggie garden). I often gather some for salads or just to eat plain. It has a peppery flavor. I am surprised to see that the groundhog likes it too, but it also looks like it has to take a big sip right after 😜 Once again, I know they are destructive but they just crack me up.

Happy Friday!

 

Robins are some of the best bathers around, and I thought it was so funny how these two made way for the young Flicker. I never see Flickers at my feeders so I always love it when they pop up at the bath.

The season is changing

and things have slowed down a lot. As you might have seen, I have winterized the bird bath, and there is a lot less activity. So we are all settling in, socially distancing, keeping safe, sane and healthy, and I hope you do too. Here is a Grack to help you into the weekend. Please make sure you vote.

are slowly getting a little calmer, the regulars make more frequent appearances and re-occupy the yard. Like the King and Queen of the Yard. He looks a bit rough around the edges but he will soon be all pretty, just like his partner. Have a great start into the weekend!
