Nearing the end of May!

Sun was scarce this week and so was I, blogwise,  however after supper the sun showed its face tonight and encouraged me to have a walk around the neighbourhood.

In the garden, the Pink Dogwood dripped prettily with raindrops ~

Mock Orange had a visit from its Ant Matilda

Oakley, the tree that has grown from an acorn I planted a few years ago is thriving in a bigger pot.

A drenched female House Finch takes refuge in the bird feeder I hung at the front with black sunflower seeds inside.

The tree near our mailbox drops huge cones and seems to be top heavy with ammunition ~

I better keep clear of that area during a wind storm!

Pine needles gathered around a storm drain.

This Sunset serenade was kindly performed by a White-crowned Sparrow this evening,

while a dragon cloud or whale cloud ~ depending on which way you look at it, drifted into the sunset.

I am compiling my May list of photographs from the Scavenger Hunt and will post them in the next day or so :)

To refresh your memory, the list is as follows:

a butterfly 

a bicycle
a red door 

a cartoon character
an emergency vehicle 

think vintage!
something blue
a street light
texture
a sign of the zodiac
an interesting local building
a portrait in black and white
