In order, left to right...

anybody know what kind of nest this might be? there were 5 eggs at first, clearly visible from my parents' bathroom window. Once they'd spotted it, tehy kept an eye out to see what kind of birds flew in/out, but they never saw anybody... and when the temps dropped, it became clear the nest had been abandoned. I took it down a couple weeks later when I was visiting, and somebody had eaten most of the eggs.

SDB irises 'Facepaint' and clump of (I think) 'Baby Blessed'.

Shadow, my neighbor's Goldendoodle puppy. I get to borrow her at least 1 afternoon/week to get my puppy fix.

Jumping spiders have the *cutest* faces! Joyanna & I spotted this one on the coral honeysuckle & managed to get a photo before it disappeared.
