Your window on the world? - Part 1

[Bazza]

Was working outside this morning and spotted this Great Egret on walkabout in the front yard. This is as close as I wanted to get and not spook the bloke........

Someone left these at the beach over a week ago. I decided to bring them home today. The towel added to my collection. The bathing suit bottom maybe will fit Holyanna......

@Bazza, you are a brave man.

You know what they say "let sleeping togs lie"

You might want to check with the lady in yesterday's photo - beside the camaro.

She appears to have lost hers.

But then again, my eyes are old and they deceive me at times ...

Pruned my Mom's 3 Queen Palms this morning.

Nice cool weather with zero humidity and a slight breeze!

Just about perfect!

Also today on the dog beach......

Border Collies!

Look how alert they are!

Carolina Wren nest in one of my hanging baskets. Mama standing by giving me hell while I was watering my plants (not that one). Pair of Cardinals also showed up to see what all the shouting was about......

I have a small bird nesting in a planter which contains a hydrangea. S/he fusses at us when we water -- will go to the eave and chirp at us. We can find no nest or eggs, but I really don't go in too far at the risk of disturbing her nest. Could s/he be nesting in the soil?

I doubt it....probably further in than you probed....and agree best to refrain from any further disruption.

I think I'll set up one of my trail cameras by mine so I can get some film on the activities without being a pest!

Shot this yesterday as I was passing by in my truck. One of the new homes being built down the street from me getting some landscaping. Those are Royal Palms in front, multi-trunk Adonidias in back, and in the upper right you can see some 'Gracillis' Bamboo that will be used for privacy/screening along the north side.

Property is right on the Intracoastal waterway.

Productive morning working on one of my motorcycles and then a nice ride on the beach!

Small gathering of the air-cooled faithful.

May the 4TH be with you!

@Padreruf - took a quick peek this morning and saw a little beak pointing upwards, so at least one has hatched!

I didn't go further as I didn't want to create any disturbance.

I'm so happy for this to happen!

Seawall construction. Those are composite interlocking panels they drive down into the sand....
