Everybody, it seems, is eating ripe blackberries!

Laura Baker photographed cute Chipmunks recently.

She wrote, “I got a kick out of watching these Yellow-cheeked Chipmunks through my window today.  They were feeding on Himalayan blackberries.  They're often too shy to see, but we can hear their two-note call.  As the summer's gone on, they've gotten bolder and have shown themselves more.”

These blackberries are abundant this year, and delicious!

Thanks to Laura for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Today we celebrate that the heatwave is over. Temps are mild with just a slight breeze. Nice!
