Beyond the flower bed, in the street, I noticed another pigeon was with the one from yesterday. I don't know what they were eating in the street, and I don't know where they live, or if I should be glad they are in my neighborhood.
I wonder if they are the same kind of pigeon, one male, the other female.
I heard this baby robin before seeing it. It was quite loud today, and apparently can't fly yet.
I kept my distance as much as I could, but needed to get a little closer to take a picture of my foxglove. Most of the time, the baby looked the other way, I think hoping if it couldn't see me, then I must not be able to see it. It did briefly look me in the eye.
Back to the back!
Here are some blooms in the front flower bed. These dianthus/sweet Williams are like a bouquet. I am pleased they survived the winter.
The foxgloves bloomed last year, too.
Some delphiniums near a bell flower that is in full bloom:
Hi Sue~~ It looks like you've created an avian oasis. Even a baby bird feels safe there. Beautiful blooms. Don't you love this time of year?
ReplyDeleteoh that little baby robin is so sweet. your garden has come along quickly. have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeletethe birds are loving your gardens and I can see why!
ReplyDeleteThe robin looks a little perturbed in the one photo!
ReplyDeleteI love foxgloves, they always remind me of my mom. Such a shame that I can't grow them in my garden. Way too hot here!

ReplyDeletePrayers, Bo
Sue,
ReplyDeleteyou took great photos of the bird...love your flowers...so pretty....
Thanks for your comments. I think I've visited your blogs either today, or in the last day or two.
ReplyDeleteMy last day of work until the middle of August is Thursday, and I hope to garden, clean our house, de-clutter, and blog.
You have a beautiful garden with lovely set of flowers
ReplyDeleteLove the Dianthus. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog while browsing the internet. It is lovely. I really enjoy it. I live in Vienna and have a small garden since last year. I will try to grow foxglove and other things. I hope it is ok if I follow your blog. I also love the way you enjoy the feathered people around. I am the same.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Erla
