Wow, I can't believe summer is pretty much over! Normally we get hot weather right on into October, but it was so mild this summer that the cold weather has already started to settle in. I'm looking forward to the colours of autumn and the white wonderlands of winter, but for now, a few more summer photos while I can still see green on the trees.

Such a perfect vision of beauty, not a hair out of place. Ok, well maybe just one.

Since I had to take down the bird feeders on the patio, there aren't many Blue Jay visitors anymore, but I found a little cubby at the lake where the Blue Jays will come and visit me for the small price of a peanut. I'm super excited to have a little blue back in my life!

One of my favourite things about taking a walk at the crack of dawn is seeing these most darling creatures! I just wanna scoop them up and hug them!

"What is that foul odour in the air? Oh, it's human!" 

~Mr Skunk~

"Errrrrrrrr, do you think I can't see you just because you're laying down in the grass!" 

~Miss Cherie~

"Me, come out there? Heck no! No way! Nope! Nuh uh! Staying right here thank you very much." 

~a shy trail friend~

"For the love of all that is holy, let this taste as good as it smells!" 

~One Eyed Willamina~

"Digging the new patio human. If you're taking orders, I'd like more yellow flowers please, goes great with my fur tone!"

My best bud Crazy Karen has spent most of August healing a badly injured hind leg. Every morning she struggles to get to my patio where she can eat and drink in safety, then I follow her home to make sure she arrives safe and sound. She is healing slowly, but there has been improvements. She can't sit up or jump from branch to branch yet, but she seems to be in less pain this week. My poor little friend has had such a rough summer this year!

This photo was taken a few weeks ago. I look forward to seeing her smile again when she is feeling better.

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
