SULTRY SATURDAY

"Oh my little flower, come closer. I have something to tell you". "So, you say I'm not your kind?"
"But I am the love of your life".
"Won't you just give me a chance?"
Now that the skunks have gone, we have this guy. Much more welcome believe me!
He's thinking about venturing towards the house.
Then he hears a noise coming from the field, and changes his mind.
This is not a very good picture. Too much sunlight, but I don't have that many butterflies, and I'll take whatever I can get. I think it is one of the Fritillary's, Aphrodite maybe?
It was so hot yesterday ( 91º), even the juvenile Grackles were uncomfortable!

These are such wonderful nature scenes! I love the courting doves and your story. I'd be wilting in 90 degree temperatures. Our summer temps. so far are a little below average, 70F, which really suits me.

Love the dove shots! Great captions! I've got one that is unmerciful in its chasing of another. Silly creatures. What a cute groundhog. The ones here never venture near our house. I've been seeing a lot of birds that look like they are panting.

Oh I LOVE your Mourning Doves!! And the butterfly is AWESOME! I think it is a Fritillary.
