The backyard.

Lewisburg.

In between the rain showers and gusts of wind, I took advantage of the sunshine to take an amble about the backyard. Among today's interesting sights:

Red peony

The bright red peonies that, one weekend, burst forth from what had looked like an odd, grassless patch behind the deck. And, hiding in the grass near the blueberry bushes:

Little bluebird

A young bluebird, just learning to fly. I'd known that its parents were comfortably nested in the bluebird box, and today's the first day I've seen the female in quite some time. As she and her mate made every attempt to lure me away from the young 'un.
