This beautiful girl lets me get really close to her!

Daily hummingbird.

Andrew was over helping Nolemana do some cleanup; he drove into the pasture to put the trimmings into the burn pile, so the cows had to be locked up while he unloaded. The girls were not happy.

I took a video when Nolemana let them out; I was hoping that they’d be leaping and jumping. They didn’t do that, but they did head right over to the burn pile to feast on the goodies.

More spinning for Tour de Femmes… with Kalakoa keeping me company.
Honeybee at the birdbath, drinking water from the moss.
We got some Russian Sage today; I’ve loved it for years.

Daily hummingbird.
Can you see the second one?
Da Gathering met at Scouters Mountain Park again today. I love the drive up and all the green!
The mountain was out!
I began spinning some art yarn on my Louet wheel today.

On my way back to the lānai after loading my wheel into the car when I was ready to leave, I spotted this lovely butterfly and was so happy I got a photo of it! It’s a Lorquin’s Admiral Butterfly.

Did more Tour de Femmes spinning with Kalakoa begging me to scratch her tummy. NOT!
2 1/8 daily pīpī.
She let me get close again!

Then I got this amazing shot!

Food deliveries. We had a really light load today.
Da daily pīpī.
Daily hummingbird.
Great lunch; ricotta cheese and fresh raspberries.
Got a bit more spinning done, too.

    That ‘green tunnel’ drive is so special! And the RASPBERRIES; mmmm!

    That *was* a great bird shot! Happy pīpī makes me happy too. The shot of the “green tunnel” reminds of driving up Tantalus. Pretttttty kitties. I’ve never seen that kind of butterfly before–just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

      Yeah, it reminds me of Tantalus, too. That’s where I spent the first four years of my life, so it’s always been a special place to me. I’d never seen that kind of butterfly either, and was so happy I got the photo!
