looking up

so the wind changed last night and the smoke from the rim fire covered the sky,

yes, the sun is back there somewhere,

the plants seemed to love the diffused light,
I could see how much more some of them had grown,
makes me want to cover the garden with bright aluminum screen,
but I know I can breed plants that can take our full direct bright sun every day,

I also got a picture of a tiny frog that is living in the box where the water spigot is,

it jumps away when I open the box, but today I took a fast picture, and it is growing so I bet it is doing well.

and I found a tiny bee, most bees fly away when you get close, but this one ignored me

there is lots of life here, and it shows up when you water things
