It's been way too hot today to spend time outside in the "feels like 104°" sunshine, so I sat inside my air conditioned house and opened the window to take pictures of the hummingbirds while they are still here. While watching out the window, I also noticed a red-eyed vireo stop by on its winter migration to the Amazon basin. I hope I get to see a lot more migrating birds over the next few weeks!

This morning a friend and I went to Dolly's statue in downtown Sevierville to place two buckets full of flowers at her memorial. I'm told that Random Acts of Flowers picks them up every couple of hours (due to heat and the huge volume of flowers being left) to repurpose them into bouquets to deliver to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. They are labeling them to show that they were flowers given in honor of Dolly. What a wonderful gift to give and to receive!

After spending yesterday grieving the enormous loss felt across the entire planet with the passing of Dolly Parton, I decided to go butterfly watching today to lift my spirits.

This photo was taken on this exact date last year. It seemed fitting to honor Dolly today with this image. She was our most beautiful East Tennessee butterfly, and the flutter of her wings has been felt by the entire earth.

It was worth the two hour drive through the beautiful east Tennessee hills and valleys to attend the dedication of Tennessee's 67th State Park - Clinch River Valley State Park. It was clear from listening to the speakers that there were a WHOLE lot of folks working together to make this happen. Kudos to them.

Owl Ridge Raptor Center attended the ceremonies and treated the crowd to the thrill of watching a rehabilitated young hawk being released back into the wild in this beautiful location. She is a youngster, and seemed a bit unsure what to do after leaving the crate. After some contemplation, she flew up into the nearest tree and perched behind the leaves and branches to keep an eye on all the people milling about as the ceremony came to a close. Now she has a second chance to survive the brutality of nature and grow up to thrive!

Do whatever you're willing to do to stay cool. I considered sitting down under the willow with these guys, but there was way too much p**p.

It's starting to be butterfly season. These two swallowtails and a monarch have been visiting my flowers over the past couple of days.

There's a flock of five wild turkeys who wander our neighborhood, and we sometimes see one hanging out on top of our cars!

I enjoy seeing them, but I wish they wouldn't raid the bird seed. They can quickly scarf up an entire day's worth of expensive sunflower hearts before I realize they waddled up to my 2nd story deck rail to feast!

I had a lot of hummingbird activity around my flowers this morning. The juvenile males were staying busy chasing each other around and refueling.

Fun fact: juvenile males develop faint black dots on their throats that develop the red color one feather at a time. Females always have a pure white throat.

This feels like an appropriate post on 'Hump Day' Wednesday. Look at the greedy fledgling standing on the back of its sibling to ensure they get the next bite!
