We nearly were 100 today, and the heat index was up to around 105 or 107. Something. It certainly makes your photos even more appealing, especially that cool water.<br /><br />I had no idea that deer would eat lily pads, but I imagine they are tender and tasty this time of year. And that wonderful iris! It's wonderful to see the ditch so nicely decked out for the new season.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-54782904232497792262016-06-14T15:04:14.926-04:002016-06-14T15:04:14.926-04:00Always fun to visit the ditch with you and your ca...Always fun to visit the ditch with you and your camera Jeanie!<br />Great photos and those rascal deer eat water lilies too!<br />All the pretty stuff is what they seem to enjoy ;-)<br />We were just wondering how our beloved Lotus gardens are doing near Wash DC... where does the time go!<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-72024562702890528662016-06-13T20:38:36.904-04:002016-06-13T20:38:36.904-04:00Jeanie these are fantastic photos.

I had sunk a bathtub and thought they would look good. But they were expensive to buy. I was overwhelmed when she said I could take as many as I could carry home. The next day, with a big bucket in hand, I waded into the lake and grabbed a few. She told me to be careful because they multiply faster than bunnies. She was right. By the end of summer, the bathtub was overflowing with flowering lily pads. Thanks for the memory I had forgotten for several years.<br /><br />Love the beautiful deer, too. It's definitely a perfect, if more than pink, day!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-43839967285621145262016-06-10T17:07:12.275-04:002016-06-10T17:07:12.275-04:00Great ditch photos - that camera is doing you prou...Great ditch photos - that camera is doing you proud, Jeanie.

We had so many geese when we lived at Dad's. The wildlife was wonderful there because of the water. When you are near water, the wildlife is plentiful.
