Nature's extraordinary world. . . . . . .

. . . . . I'm sharing the Peace rose again. 

This morning she is full blown, glowing, and even more gorgeous!

More buds are also opening.

Little bees have been buzzing around her. . . . . . . . 

. . . . . . and the terra cotta cherub family is almost smiling.

  

It's so hot here - already 82F and heading up to 87F by late afternoon. 

Phew, much too hot for me, and others.

Perhaps the mama House finch whose nest is up above the roses in the

 hanging Boston fern is truly feeling the heat! Yes, she's a real mama now

as her first tiny baby hatched this morning.

One new little life - hopefully there will be three more soon.

I'll be watching the nest closely, but carefully, over the weekend. . . . . 

and hoping no predators show up on the front porch of course.

Enjoy your weekend wherever you are.


Update: Saturday morning 7:30 AM

We now have triplets!
