The month of July usually begins with me having the wonderful excuse to hide indoors from the heat watching the Tour de France and baseball, but as nothing is normal, I spent some time outdoors in the morning watching the blue jays have to air out their wings by 9:00 a.m.
We’re still hoping to see our favorite teams this year, but with the daily news and sports reports I’m beginning to doubt that it’s going to happen.
I never made it further than my yard with the camera, so I’m sure I missed seeing the heron in a good mood, but
I had plenty of characters to keep me entertained at home.
With plenty of refreshments on hand,
including a few from my favorite hard cider company, and a wonderful selection of Havarti cheese from Denmark
there was plenty of time to watch the blue jays enjoy being New York Yankees fans for the day.
Great selection of photos 😀
And I cannot believe you got Harper to wear that mask! 😀

Thank you!😁 I’ve promised Harper no more mask photos, but she actually dislikes Baby Yoda more than the mask!🐾😁

That must have been tough on the blue jays! What a great collection of photographs capturing all the cute backyard action there. Summer in BC has been a bust so far, according to reports, but that’s good news for wildfire season. We seem to get a few hours of sun and blue skies on most days, but certainly not the temperatures you’re getting.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you!🙂 Thank god for the entertaining backyard visitors because it’s lucky I’m still somewhat sane after a week of the dew point in the 70s, temps in the 90s, another disappointing Tottenham match, the daily threat of all my sports leagues not returning this year, let alone what I’m seeing on the news. At this point, I’m adding so many books and movies to my watchlists that I wonder if I’ll eventually discover there is a limit. Enjoy the weekend!🙂

Thank you!🐾🙂 I made sure there was plenty of water and snacks to keep the backyard visitors in an entertaining mood and they were happy the hot weather forced me inside early so they could enjoy them in peace. Enjoy the weekend!🙂

Love the chipmunk shot and per usual, Harper is adorable in her mask, although her eyes seem to be pleading for you to hurry up and take the shot so she can remove it!
Have a good weekend!

Thank you and I think that chipmunk shot is my favorite of the year!😁 I’ve tried to convince Harper our photo shoots are fun, but she still views them as some sort of punishment, especially now that Baby Yoda is being included. She would definitely choose the mask over Baby Yoda.🐾😁 Enjoy the weekend!🙂

It all happens round at yours, doesn’t it. Who needs to leave the garden with your backyard gang in full photo opp mode. Brilliant pictures of the chipmunk and jay. Temperatures here made it grudgingly up to about 15 Celsius today once the rain stopped.

Thank you!🙂 The blue jays have been putting on a show this week and I love that little chipmunk!😁 Well, we have a few days off from the 90s before it returns again, but I’m not too excited about the high humidity and storms we have while I wait for its return. So glad I love books and movies!😁 Enjoy the weekend and hopefully some warm sunshine!🙂
