Summer Snapshots

Hello! These pictures are from July and August. The first two are from short nature walks in the desert and the rest are from the neighborhood and backyard.

A bobcat came into our yard, took a long seven-minute drink of water from the toad's dish and left.

The toad has been living in our backyard for a few years but we only see it during monsoon seasons.
