We had a very welcome 0.6 inches of rain last night. Before the rain I removed the corn cage and weeded and pulled out all but one corn seedling from each hill. I also did pruning and weeding elsewhere.
I have seen hardly any fish this year, but spent about a half hour walking around the pond and spotted a school of two-dozen baby fish, one-inchers. I assume there must be adult fish in there somewhere.
At 9 PM it was dusk, after an 8:30 sunset, and at 9:30 the sky was still bright, and I could walk around in the semi dark, with a first-quarter moon and fireflies. First light will be at 3:30 AM.
The Game Cams took over 300 pix in the past three weeks, mostly of foliage blowing in the wind and about forty of deer. The Moultrie cam had fewer pix and more deer and won this interval competition over the Bushnell. I moved them both to new spots.
New blooms: baptisia, cinquefoil, Indian paint brush.
Peony, along with iris and roses are the big three in June.
Showy lady slipper is a very complex orchid.
That yellow blob is another flower about to open.
Rose-breasted grosbeak, first one of the season.
Below are three pix from the game cameras. There were about 300 images over three weeks with many deer at night and during the day. Most of the pix were of wind blowing foliage, but the cameras react to motion, so that is expected. The Moultrie did better this time. I moved them both to new locations.
Bushnell-a pair of deer at midday.
Moultrie-he's growing a pair.
