Nature Notes (#518)-To science, not even the bark of a tree or a drop of pond water is dull or a handful of dirt banal. They all arouse awe and wonder. ~Jane Jacobs

I’m sorry, I am late. No excuse. I did want to clarify from my zoo post last week. I used photos from the Buffalo Zoo website as it was too hot and potentially wet for my good camera. I thought I had noted it and I had not and I am sorry about that.
 
It has been a very stormy and wet July. Seven inches of rain is a lot and our yard had 4 inches over a few hours so the pond was in our yard. We also had two varying length power outages, but nothing like the floods and fires that others are dealing with. I think we have reached the tipping point in climate change and Mother Nature is reacting.
 
The pond has receded and is back to its more quiet and relaxing self and I love to sit and just listen to the birds and insects and what nature while we have summer to enjoy…..

Have a wonderful nature-filled week! Please be safe.

  1. Someone else I link to (Our World) forgot all about posting the link up last week because she was on vacation — I didn’t even notice it because I tried once and just thought I was too early, then I forgot all about it. Until I went to link up yesterday and saw her apology! (Anyone who hosts a link-up deserves a huge thank you and have no need to apologize for anything) You do all us bloggers us a huge favor and I am grateful! Thank you. And I’m glad I didn’t forget to come back here.
