As annoying as it was when the neighbors chopped down their giant Norway maple, leaving 8" holes in my yard and a (now deceased) colony of refugee carpenter ants in my house, the extra sun in the herb garden is making the flowers very happy. Especially the pyrethrum daisies:

They really are this amazing bright scarlet color. I love them.

This one wasn't quite the crop I was hoping for, but it was windy out, so I was lucky to get anything close to what I wanted:

I didn't even notice the tiny ant at lower right until I downloaded the photos! You can see him better in the large view.

And finally, a cat photo, because Mr. P was so asleep this afternoon he didn't notice when I got up from where he was leaning against me, much less when I zoomed in to take this shot. One of the only advantages of him having gone deaf in his old age is that now I can zoom in without frightening him off with the noise of the lens moving.
