Summer pollinators are in full swing here on the farm. Really enjoy the seasonal color changes in our pollinator plot along with the wildlife and insects. Grass land songbirds are finishing the renewal of life and are using the plot to fatten up for the fall migration. Plenty of young mammals showing up deer, rabbits, raccoons, and all the essential rodents. With all the negativity around the world a little color can brighten ones day. Enjoy!

Beautiful photos.  Thanks for sharing your part of the country. Especially appreciated now that so much of the West is parched and dry.  Nice of you to share with Carol as well.
