Dog Days of Summer at Sasebo Gardens

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, we are taking a look at what July looks like at the Sasebo Japanese Garden (located inside the ABQ Botanic Garden).

The dog days of summer have arrived and the temperatures are getting warm early. It was in the 80s earlier this week when Mama visited. 

The paths are pretty much all shaded, this really helps the temperatures feel cooler. You see, here in the high desert, we have a "dry heat".  One of the good things about this is that it is a bunch cooler in the shade (....but in the sun it is OMD HAWT)!

There were these pretty blue berries growing everywhere!

Mama says these blue berries aren't for eating, they are actually part of the Oregon Grape Holly family.

The waterfall sure is looking pretty.

Here is a video Mama took of the Sasebo Garden...again, she SAYS it's short, but you know Mama!

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

Now, where was I....
Oh yes, the waterfall is surround by greenery, and Mama says there are ducks living near it too!

We have been getting some rain, so the creeks are flowing

Some of the paths are brimming with day lilies getting ready to bloom.

This beautiful Japanese Spiraea has the prettiest lacy pink blooms.

We'll wrap things up with this pretty scene showing just how green everything is right now!


Thank you for joining me for a July look at the Sasebo Japanese Garden, be sure to join me all next week to help celebrate my birthday! 

Only 8 more days left until I turn 8!!

We hope all our friends get out to see some nature this week!

Thankful for Saturday's with Daddy

Saturdays are the only day of the week Daddy gets to sleep late. Usually Mama is up early to start our morning routine(outside, breakfast, etc). After I have eaten breakfast, I start my Saturday "wait for Daddy routine". 

First, I try to stare through the bedroom door to see if that wakes up Daddy. This is especially hard because the door is closed.


Next, I take a little nap to try and sneak into Daddy's dreams to wake
him up.



Then I usually get frustrated and see if Mama will just open the door so I can go in and wake him up....
This, unfortunately, never works.


FINALLY, I think hear Daddy moving around in the bedroom....

Any minute now.....

Daddy, is that you???

DADDY!!!!!! 
There is nothing like Daddy pets first thing in the morning!

Kingbird and Queen Sunny


This Summer, we are seeing a lot of little Western Kingbirds at the fountain.  Look at the footage TC captured of a few of them over the past few weeks:



These little guys are quiet at the fountain, but don't let that fool you. Rosy says they make nests in the neighbors trees and when she and the pawrents go for walks, they make a big squawky racket! Mama says she is making me an honorary "Queenbird" because I tend to get a bit squawky myself BOL!

Traveling Days


Even though we slept most of the time during our travels to and from Red River, we did over hear the pawrents talking about the pretty scenery.... 

There were mountains

...and the artsy town of Taos, NM.


Mama and Daddy are totally into the whole
"The journey should always be as fun as the destination" philosophy.


We're more of the....
"Get us there and home safely and quickly while we nap"
philisophy.


Mama made this video of our travels. She SAID she was going to keep it short, let's see how she did:

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)


We had a great time in Red River but, due to yucky work projects,  the pawrents think this may be the end of our camping season this year. You never know though, we have our fingers crossed that we may be able to go out in ArCe this Autumn when it gets a bit cooler. 

I, Rosy, will be back during my BIRTHDAY WEEK Nature Friday 
(next week) to tell you about one final fantabulous Red River hike I got to do with the pawrents.

Road Runner RV Resort Wildlife


Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. 
You might remember the "Sad Rosy Face" at the end of Tuesday's post. Well this picture is the HAPPIEST Rosy face!  
This is me by the Red River (that really isn't red).

You see, Mama and Daddy took me on a pawsome hike around our RV Resort and I saw more wildlife than I EVER had before!!

Look over here.....

It's a DEER!!!

...and here is ANOTHER one!!!
I have seen Elk from the car when we lived in Northy North California, but I have never seen a New Mexico Deer before!
(Mama says it is a Mule Deer)

....and OMD, look over there...

A CHIPPY!!! 
They were everywhere and boy are they fast, Daddy and I couldn't get anywhere near them!

There were these silly bears too
Scary bears...

....hungry bears

...flying bears

Even Mama and Baby bears!
No worries though, all these bears are wood carvings. 
Even though real bears live in the area, we didn't get to see any!


Mama had Daddy and me pose in front of this silly wagon on a stick. I was too busy looking for more wildlife to look at the camera though.


This was such a pawsome walk and I definitely saw more critters than I have ever seen on a hike before!  

What kind of critters have you all seen in the wild??? We hope everyone can get out to see some nature this weekend!

OH....We almost Forgot!
Happy Independence Day to all those in the USA!!!
We sure hope we get burgers to celebrate!
