I'm still feeling a bit "knocked out" by the hot weather here. The temperature may have gone down a couple of degrees (C) compared to the weekend; but instead it's now more humid, with occasional thunder and rain showers. Still too warm indoors; and as my study faces south-west, I'm limiting my time at the computer...
Today I managed to get out for a walk (or a "stroll") between 10-11 am; just my usual paths around the old cemetery, and down to the little park by the river for a bit.
Yellow water lilies in the river, blurry because zoomed in from quite a long distance with my phone camera.
A number of similar flowerbeds in blue are found in different "park" areas of the cemetery.
I have shown several photos before of the hares living in the cemetery - or at least I assume that they "live" there, as that's where I usually see them. However, it happens that they also visit the lawns between the apartment buildings where I live. But it's usually in winter evnings that I have spotted them there, and not least when snow on the ground, so I have kind of assumed that it's been when they've had difficulties finding food elsewhere.) But a few nights ago (Saturday) I saw one grazing on the lawn below my balcony, and it wasn't even dark yet! And certainly no lack of greenery in other places, less frequented by humans. (It was unusually quiet in the neighbourhood at the time, though - not children out playing etc.)
Multiple images of one and the same hare, zoomed in from my balcony on Saturday evening.
What a nice quiet neighbor the hare is! Loved seeing the river, and the beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe heat with humidity is, I find, far less bearable than dry heat. It's beginning to be annoying that it's limiting my activities. Perhaps your hare was finding the grass greener 'on the other side of the fence'. I'm not sure I've ever knowingly seen a hare, though rabbits are commonplace.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos today! The flowers, especially the blues and purples, are my Favorites. The bunnie's food must be extra delicious around your apartment!.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the weather has created a heavy, lingering atmosphere
