Today, we're celebrating the first Friday in August with a little bit of the Nature I've seen so far this Summer.
This little guy is a Rufous Hummingbird. He's little, even for a hummer! Mama says he's just passing through, hopefully he'll make himself at home here for a few weeks.
Look at how he changes color when the sun shines on him(or when he wants to show off for the girl birdies)! The orange on his neck almost glows!
Look over there....
We still have rosies blooming...both the red blooms
....and the pink blooms like the hot summers here in New Mexico
We have had a couple of other frequent visitors who are enjoying the New Mexico Summer
This is Fatty Fat Fat Frog. He visits our waterfall at night. I have to say, after my first taste of froggy, I have decided frogs are friends not food. Fatty and I have made a deal. Now, he mostly hides under rocks, and I mostly watch him.
Sunny introduced you to our roadrunner friend earlier this week. I have tried to chase him down to see if we can hunt lizards together. He keeps ignoring me though and eats every lizard he finds....
Sheesh...doesn't he know it's nice to share?!
Nom......lizards!!
Anyway, that wraps up all the this's and that's around our backyard this week.
We hope you all get out and enjoy some nature this weekend!!
