We have two chipmunks that visit the garden. I caught them the other day in a battle over some sunflower seeds. This is the victor standing guard and giving him that “make a move I dare you” look. LOL
Have a wonderful new week Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo

These two wild stallions were exchanging postures in a stand off over who had the right to have his herd in the area. Sometimes it seems this is exactly the posture you see between humans.

I recently watched a PBS show that maintained Hummers hated Bees. As fall approaches the Hummers and the Bees are all enjoying blooms in our backyard and I have seen Hummers chase away bees from blossoms they have their eyes on. A little tomfoolery is visible from the silent shutter I was experimenting with.

At a time when the world is going mad Mexican Standoff by elbow seemed a perfect title. Hopefully like my favourite beach days there's always light after the worst of the storms.
Lucy loves the hot pizza box as much or more than we love the pizza. She often claims the box before we get a chance to get the pizza out. She never gets off the box willingly.

Standoff

Standoff,
But act not.
Something will happen
Beyond everything.
Wait for and watch,
The ice is the stone there.
History will change
The course itself.

these two, a trumpeter and a mute swan have been going at it all summer. They do not like each other!

The Mink and the Crab continued.
The battle with the Mink and the Crab started when the Mink came out of the sea with the Crabs back legs in it's mouth hoping to get an easy meal but things started going terribly wrong for the Mink immediately.
The Crab having free front pincers attached one to the top of the Minks head. It really hurt the Mink, so it dropped it and then the battle between the two started. The Crab hurt the mink on several occasions more and the Mink finally had enough and went on it's way to look for an easier meal.
Truly amazing to watch.
This folks IMHO is the best in the series so far. This image took 3 hours to make because of the cat and mouse game the bee played here with this gal, and it would take me more time to explain how it was shot than the whole experience. Just the look on the birds face I think is ........PRICLRSS. Have a great day and thank you as always for visiting.
Aug. 11, two major dust storms (haboob) hit the city of Phoenix. 1st one arrived mid morning, with fierce winds, followed by torrential rain. 2nd storm warning came in for that evening. A couple of us bravely/foolishly ventured into the open desert near Superstition Mountain, to find a good vantage point to photograph the event. Nature didn't let us down. Needless to say, it was exciting and unnerving to be standing there with a big aluminum Manfrotto tripod, as bolts of lightning came down all around us! :)
Monsoon thunderstorm to the East, vs. Dust Storm approaching from the South. It wasn't a big one, dust wall was less than a mile high. Wind speed did hit 62 mph (100 kmph) in some parts of the city.
At the opposite end of the ubiquity spectrum from yesterday's Horned Lark was a lone American Badger seen at sunset along the Ecotour Scenic Drive at the Frenchman Valley Campground. With Wild Prairie Man in the lead, we eased our way closer to the badger, counting on its curiosity to hold it in place. That worked just long enough to get a few shots of it peeking at us through the tall grass.
