The summer heat has been switched on for a while now. We haven't had a drop of rain since late June. That's pretty normal in these parts. Luckily for the wildlife, we have a water feature that fills up once a day and supplements their water needs. That makes for a lot of deer-cam photos.
[P.S. Make sure you watch the videos at the end!]
