August 7

I couldn't decide which photo to choose, so it is a collage tonight.
The hummingbird was around my deck this morning and I managed to get a photo of her at the cleome in one of the planters.
I had put some seed out on the railing, so the chickadees, cardinals, blue jays, morning doves, a sparrow and the squirrel were there for breakfast.
Today is a holiday so we weren't working. I decided to go for a walk at Shubie, then head downtown to see if I could find a parking spot to watch the parade. I saw this turtle at Shubie, not sure what kind he is. Too big for a painted turtle and too small for a snapping turtle. Another walker wondered if it is a blanding turtle.
I was almost too late for the parade, I misunderstood the time they gave. I thought that it would be arriving at Sullivans Pond around noon, instead it was finished at noon. I did get to see the last several entries.
I spent the afternoon at home catching up on a few things here.
Thought about going to see the fireworks tonight, but too tired to go out again.
