Wednesday's Walk

It's too hot and too smokey to walk today.

So here's what I can see from the back porch.

A couple of turkey vultures circling.

 

Hazel brush

Tansy Ragwort 

Pretty, but toxic to cattle

A juvenile towhee

Green berries on a Hawthorne

Douglas fir green cones dripping with sap

Back indoors now where it is cooler.
