End of Summer

This summer, tomatoes plants did not grow as big as last year; nonetheless:  tomatoes are getting ripen ready to be picked.

 

During winter, Bushtits came in a big bunch.   Spring and summer they are in a lot smaller group of 2-5, busy nesting and raising the young.  At the end of summer, they are again back to a big bunch of 12-15 or more.  Lately  I notice they are followed by a hummingbird to visit my backyard.  Or other times a hummingbird is chasing a bushtit.

When they come in a bunch, some have to wait for his turn at somewhere else like this one perched on a blue Texas sage.

"Hi, I'm back with a lot of friends."

 
Yesterday they discovered a bird bath, so everyone was curious to check it out.
 
"Let me wade here....   Water is not very cold."



"How many are we now?  Everyone is here?"
