FRIDAY CRITTERS

Bee and butterfly buffet: tithonia on the left, echinacea and salvia right, butterfly bushes far right.

One of two Monarchs seen that day fueling up for the big journey ahead. This could very well be the great, great, great grandchild of one of our past visitors who has returned.

MamaC is looking quite Rubenesque these days, sleek fur with an attractive lighter grey on the chin, muzzle and down her chest.

MamaC P-dogging.

Uh oh, MamaC squaring off against her old antagonist, Bhadra. This is quite typical of him-he's pretty aggressive in standing his ground especially when the buffet is involved. No scrap ensued.

One of the first appearances by this year's kits (that we have seen) who are out rather early.

Our Homeland Security Director keeping an eye on things.

Blissed out Molls receiving a long belly rub from Mom, who does it best! 


Not caught on film: while we ate dinner, we witnessed Isabella walking in front of us under the pool deck several times with a peanut in her mouth on her way to burying it. She would stop and scope us out and then carry on with a determined yet unhurried pace. She really is her mother's daughter. We're thrilled and will see if she will begin stopping by and hunt for peanuts by us. Of course, we have to consider where the Grey Menace is hanging out. We don't want to inflict trauma on our Izzy.
