Yard work

It was another gorgeous day although the lack of rain was a concern.  I finally tackled the mountain mint and cut it all out down to the ground in the hope of getting rid of the spider mites that infested it last summer.  I wanted to do this months ago but life intervened.  Only the downy woodpecker was bold enough (or hungry enough) to visit the suet while I worked.  

The scarred white throat scrounged fallen seeds out of the dry birdbath.  Reflections in the creek were sharp and straight-edged.  The more sheltered hickory turned gold as the exposed one grew bare.  Lake turtles took advantage of the sunshine.  The paper narcissus put out a blossom.  I took a ridiculous number of leaf photos.  A great blue heron landed on a dock piling.
