Ollie: Woofs Everyone! Ollie here! It's getting very hot again and so #1 is being careful about when I go out. Early mornings are still OK so I like to potter around the garden.
This photo was taken at Ms. C's which explains all the hay on the ground!
I also wanted to share this great photo of my flying ears taken in the big field the other day:

You can see how dry everything is. France is having its worst drought since records began. #1 is trying to make sure that our wild birds and little critters have water to drink. She has a couple of bowls on the ground, with stones in them, so that the littlest ones don't drown, and she put up this low-cost water dispenser. It's hanging on the big cherry tree:
Here is a nice head shot of me to wrap things up:
we have yellow and brown grass too ... it is odd to see the land that way... sigh
ReplyDeleteLovely post Ollie! So nice that #1 is taking such good care of the birdies and little critters! We hope that you soon get some rain!
ReplyDeleteOur temps are in the low to mid 20C range and most of the week is overcast with a possibility of rain. Not that it matters to me as I am indoors ;)
ReplyDeleteStay cool Ollie! I like our curly furs!
Purrs, Julie
Our fields are the same, parched and brown. That is a good photo of your flying ears, Ollie.
ReplyDeleteI am putting fresh water in the birdbath every day and the sparrows are in there all the time the finches have to queue up, but the robin chases them all off when he wants to get there! The blackbirds and thrushes use the water feature because it is deeper and they like to get right down in it. One blackbird like to stand under the water where it runs out over.
It's nice to see you enjoying yourself, Ollie!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the rains come early this year.
Sorry you are so hot and dry. We had that 10 years ago and again a couple of years ago. Stay cool.
ReplyDeletegreat idea with the water for the birds, your head shot is beautiful and I love your paws out in front of you in the hay shot...
ReplyDeleteLulu: "This post doubles as a late Tongue-Out Tuesday!"
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "It's good that you put water out for the animals! I remember when I lived on the streets in Mexico, finding water could be a challenge, and nobody likes to be thirsty!"
We were very parched in July, but so far August is being kinder. Hope you get some needed rains, soon.
ReplyDeleteNice picture series, Ollie!
It's been hot around here and very dry too, but we're still able to water our plants. You sure look like you were having fun in the big field.
ReplyDeleteOllie, you and #1 are really helping all the creatures have something to drink. I'm proud of you and by the way, great flying ears!
ReplyDeleteOllie, you look so handsome in all your pics. It has been a very hot summer here and everything is dry. Mom cringes when the water bill comes as they try to keep the lawn green:(

ReplyDeleteMY favorite day!
