June 16, 2011

Early one morning, I got my coffee and headed to the front porch to watch the sun rise, but was disappointed to see the thick fog instead. As I sat there, the sun began to make its way through the fog and the huge elm tree.

The sun centered perfectly behind a large tree on a foggy morning.

Two garter snakes on the ground.
Garter SnakesI had been away from my garden for 8 weeks, after breaking my toe this winter just as the snow was melting. So I have been eager to catch up on my weeding and planting. The black flies are gone now, so Sunday I went out with the best intentions.

MockingbirdThis is a female mockingbird at the bird bath. They love grapes and cherries, and they also feed them to their babies. They chase all undesirables off the grounds, whether it's a cat, crow, or squirrel.

A small shallow river running through some woods.

An oriole looking through the window from outside.
Wildlife: Oriole Pecking at the WindowThis spring I put up a oriole feeder, with the hopes of attracting these beautiful birds. What a surprise we had, when they arrived. One came to the window, tweeting and pecking. Our feeder was not near the window.

Sunset in Tennessee.
Scenery: Sunset from Our Porch (Tennessee)We are all happy when the sun sets over here, not too far from Bristol, Tennessee. It has been so hot. The sunsets are absolutely beautiful. We live in a hollow, and the weather acts strange because of it. The wind blows in circles, and the snow falls in all directions.

A robin on a log near water.
Young RobinThis little fellow was too young to be afraid. I was parked beside the brush, when this young robin flew in and landed next to me. It didn't frighten him when I reached over to get my camera, turn it on and focus.
