What’s Up?
FIGure that!…
Despite the hot weather and the sticky inconvenience of the humidity, product of the summer storms and hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico… Life continues, patterns of weather have changed and we have no choice but adapt to it.
I see my birds busy as always but at different times, the feeders get empty at a faster rate, seems like my avians friends are improving their appetites.
My fig tree being so young only 3 1/2 ft. tall surprised us by having beautiful fruits which got ripen in the tree but then ALL were eaten by the birds in one day!
My beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbirds must have nested nearby because I see them very often. They are so tiny and gracious.
I’ve seen and heard many cicadas lately. These insects are amazing when they create a loud sound wave with their wings.
Many of my birds are currently molting and do not look exactly pretty at the moment, In the possible I try not to show them under the process.

A very philosophical post with lovely photographs.
Thank you very much Susan. 🙂
The birds must have thought you had grown the fig tree for them! We often pick some of our figs just before they are ripe and leave them on a windowsill to finish ripening. We then have our share and the birds get the rest! Very nice photos!
Next season I will play smart and do that. You’re right Clare! It was my first fig tree and it was the first fruits for the small tree. Thank you my dear friend.:)
My pleasure, HJ! 🙂
Isn’t it amazing how fast the feeders empty this time of year! Love all the pix, but especially the Mockingbird. I’m glad I don’t have room for a fig tree, I was tempted because I love figs, but it would be hard to share that much. 🙂
I love figs too! Next season will be different. I’m sure there will be many more so I’ll be able to harvest some and leave the rest for the birds. Thank you. 🙂
I have a tree that surprised me this year by producing 2 flowers and then 2 green apples and then eventually a squirrel found them and ate them. I know what I’ll do next year if I get more apples! 🙂
