A Potpourri of Shots

The garden is producing very well this year. We have had descent rains almost all July and August is starting the same way. The yard is still very green and it is usually brown by this time. This is my second small Super Sonic Tomato and it is small but bigger then the Cherry Tomatoes. The Great Blue Heron came to the pond for two days and this is what started my bird collection for today.

I zoomed in pretty far and got a fair head shot from the distance away.
He came close to the road once and I caught him flying away. Click on any picture to see better.
He made a graceful landing for a big bird.
This was one of a pair of Cedar Waxwings which were at work. The other one was deep in the tree.
He posed for quite a while with his treasure before leaving.
A Mallard with her two ducklings were swimming in a pond.
The pond where the Great Blue Heron was showing off produced these two Mourning Doves. Doves like sand and dirt probably to help with the grinding of grains.
