A Menagerie in the Garden, Late Summer

With a week of rain and being away for a short while, I haven't had many moments in the garden in the past two weeks.  This afternoon, I spent some time just watching from my window.  This is what I saw in just a few moments.

A chipmunk spent some time under the bird feeder.  I also saw him shake a sunflower but ths seeds were not ripe and did not tumble down upon him.

A male and female goldfinch threw down cracked sunflower seeds.

A couple of sparrows drank poolside from the bird bath.

A duo of Great Spangled butterflies fed on the butterfly bush.

Just a great moment to spend
in a summer garden!
