thank you
I have taken some more pictures of sunflowers -- the bees love them. I love them especially when they grow where the growing is tough.

Today I went back to Finley Wildlife Refuge.
When I got there my car said it was 80f so 26.6C -- nice and toasty
There are elements of fall, but since the rains have not yet begun I think I can call it summer

This was taken at almost the same place as the rose hips. For a while I watched a Northern Harrier hunt, flying right along the edge of that corn - maize - field, just barely above the height of the corn.

Wonderful photos, Alice. I absolutely loved the one of the grass-- may I copy it for my desktop? And the rabbit photos are just adorable. I've not heard of "brush rabbit" before, but it looks like a variation on our cottontail rabbit. I'll look it up.
