Town Jays and Country Jays
A quartet of junior blue jays showed up at the feeder on Sunday morning. Already present were the quartet of junior scrub jays whom we know so well, and there was some fractiousness, with the scrub jays dominating the feeder and the little town jays sitting around looking hungry and making unfruitful forays to the feeders. It didn't take long for them to sort it out and all to eat together in harmony.

The Scorpions are Back: #2 of 2009
I'm just happy they are not brown recluses, frankly. This one was in the bathroom right beside my head the other night; Hugh kindly came running with the SCARP container as soon as I yelled. He mentioned that he'd come across one recently, too, making this one #2 of 2009.

Where Am I??
Melting in the effing heat, that is where I am. Spending lots of time indoors and also spending lots of time making jewelry for my new Etsy shop (and setting up the darn thing). I hope my energy will rally soon and that many more bug/bird/cat photos will be taken and posted.
Till then, here are some cicada wings I found in my mother's garden this evening. One was in a spiderweb out front; the other in the birdbath out back. I'm setting them aside with the dehydrated scorpions to make something pretty out of them!
