I put up photos today too, but not of flowers. My flowers are a bit raggedy from the heat. Thanks for a smile today.

Writer Lady, I liked your post for the day and your blog. Thank you.

Gemma, Thanks so much, I'll be over to visit soon.

Icy, Thank you. This is the first time in years I've been able to get a macro of the hollyhock that wasn't blurred.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
