It was here when I bought the place and has survived all manner of weather and neglect, so clearly it's a tough plant! After it blooms this year I plan to prune it a bit...hope I don't manage to kill it with care.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-8316949390281692172016-06-08T09:58:13.080-04:002016-06-08T09:58:13.080-04:00What IS that yellow flower in the first photo?

We had our usual pea crop--Larry does the picking and he always leaves the snap peas too long, then picks them with the other peas all together in a bucket so I can't tell which is which! The chickens got lucky again, and we got none. Ah well, peas are good for the soil, right?Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-40620174525392440972016-06-07T13:11:43.905-04:002016-06-07T13:11:43.905-04:00I love your hummingbird photo -- and the bear and ...I love your hummingbird photo -- and the bear and bobcat videos are amazing! I completely agree, it is disturbing when people claim to 'love nature' all the while abusing it in a variety of ways. Good luck with your garden -- I haven't even decided yet whether to have one, but I have re-seeded green onions and a few herbs going strong. :)gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-65351444654999883222016-06-06T14:59:26.927-04:002016-06-06T14:59:26.927-04:00Nice videos!

Its cute the way the bobcat is playing and rolling on the ground.<br />Must say though, its bit scary with the bear inspecting the cam, close up like that.

They mean a lot to me because you clearly completely "get" my approach to photographing wildlife - I try so hard not to be intrusive but to get a glimpse of their hidden incredible lives.<br /><br />I'm glad it's raining now for you. I just caught up on your posts, and you said it was very hot a few days ago. A little chill in the air must feel great! I'm jealous every year of the things that you're able to grow there. I'm glad you have more room for planting this year - your beautiful flowers and yummy veggies will be even better! (Our growing season is so short that I've given up on all veggies aside from salad greens, radishes, and small carrots).<br /><br />May your gardens flourish!
