It's been a rough week, but I had a few moments of enjoyment

It's been a rough week, but I had a few moments of enjoyment. So many interesting critters and moments that made me smile when I needed it most.

Angry bird! Both parent mockingbirds are very territorial when they are nesting and will defend their nests from any animals they think are predators. This northern mockingbird was quite cross with me!

 I saved this poor fellow from a visiting field trip group. He was missing two legs. :(

 Rose glow

 One of the scorpions I relocated from one of the outside umbrellas. :)

 Took some photos of these old flower husks before noticing something interesting...

These little guys were using them as shelters! :)
