It had rained before we got there, and the grass was wet. There were parts we had to tread carefully. The benches were damp but weren't too bad. I was eager to see more of the glass exhibits we missed the last time we were here because of the heat. You can see that post at this link. I don't know whether we will be able to get back before the exhibit goes in October. We were also hoping that it wouldn't start raining again. Thankfully it didn't.
Gregg took all of the photos in today's post. I was very grateful to him for getting them. It has been several months since we have taken any shots of birds, and even longer of a Mockingbird. An interesting fact I found here, is that there are 16 species around the world that go by the name mockingbird. The Northern Mockingbird here is the only native of the United States.
Stunning! The colors in the big black flower are beautiful! We have a lot of Mockingbirds. I was attacked by one once. But I still like them. I see you hiding behind the berries!
ReplyDeleteOh, those are great shots of the mockingbird. And I will be looking forward to more shots of the the exhibit or anything else.
ReplyDeleteThat mockingbird looks so beautiful and I adore the glass art!
ReplyDeleteThose glass exhibits look gorgeous. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteThe glass exhibits are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe mockingbird seems quite inoffensive - why would anyone want to kill one? 😉
Swet bird there Denise and I do like the glass flowers. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic pictures of the mockingbird. The glass exhibit looks fascinating. That's something I would love to see in person. Look forward to reading more about it.
ReplyDeleteNorthern Mockingbirds are becoming an ever more frequent breeding species here in southern Ontario, clear evidence of a warming climate.,

Well done on these lovely photos Gregg! The mockingbird is certainly doing well with all the thorns about him on the locust. I hope you have a good day Denise. I look forward to seeing more of the lovely glass you both viewed!
