Yes, it's unbelievable.... Where I live it was the same situation...

Yes, it was terribly hot in the car on the way back from the vet clinic today! Too short a distance for the AC to really cool the car and even the open windows did not help! But I hope it'll dry my laundry, as the laundry dryer refused to start its work!

little swan in nest

02.06. you can hear them "everywhere" since some days

Fireblade, so cute Thank you

Fireblade it looks like you get it really well at least some of the time.

The faces on the little birds are so cute. But I think the swans did not want to be seen, which if there were eagles about might be a very good thing.

Fireblade: Such a cute little one . That's kind of bird it is? Sorry I'm not an expert of birds .

Fireblade, thanks for your reply ,

The yellow face fooled me -- but I did think they look like our Chickadees.
