June - Love Birds Under the Strawberry Moon 613

Friday the 13th and also the full moon.  Did you know, the full moon in June is called the Strawberry moon?

Wondering what is a Strawberry Moon?   In North America, the peak harvesting season for strawberries in June gives that month’s full moon its name.   I love strawberries, especially those fresh from the farmer's market - you know the ones that look so incredibly ripe, you know you have to eat them all in just a day or they won't last - Yep, those ones are the best.

Almost to the halfway mark of June.  You can catch up with the painting a day in June project - HERE.  Happy Friday everyone!!

June - Rufous 612

Love these guys - little Rufous Hummingbirds

Often described as "feisty," the Rufous may have the ideal size-to-weight ratio among North American hummingbirds. This bird outflies all other species, and usually gets its way at feeders at the expense of slower, less-maneuverable hummers. The Rufous has the longest migration route of all US hummingbirds.
