SO, WITH THAT WISE THOUGHT IN MIND

 AND YES, WE DO HAVE FROGS IN OUR FRONT YARD FROG POND

Seeings how I am another day older today than I was yesterday, I figured I had to be a touch wiser too.  Well, that's my wise old Owl theory anyway.  So, using that scant touch of wiseness I figured a morning walk under a shady growth of trees would be a much smarter thing to do than a walk out in the open under the blazing hot morning Sun.  So, with that wise thought in mind, Pheebs and I headed off into Bayfield where we soon had ourselves walking along a dirt road under the tall cool pine trees of the Bayfield Cemetery.  Sometimes, even I am surprised by my occasional bursts of unexpected smarts and short wisps of wonky wisdom.

 NEXT DOOR TO THE BAYFIELD CEMETERY IS THE BAYFIELD INTERNATIONAL CROQUET CLUB

 UNDERNEATH THIS LARGE WALNUT TREE I FOUND A LITTLE WALNUT FACE

 THIS IS A WALNUT POD

 AND THIS IS THE LITTLE WALNUT FACE

 A PATCH OF DAISIES IN BAYFIELD

With a welcome abundance of shade in our front yard I spent some of my time out there wandering around with my camera this afternoon.  As long as I didn't exert myself or move too fast I was okay in the heat but oh my, how nice to step back inside a nice cool air-conditioned house.

 IT WAS A HOT AND HUMID DAY IN OUR FRONT YARD JUNGLE

 DAYLILY

 SUNBURST LOCUST LEAVES

 A GERANIUM IN DEEP SHADE

 LOOK CLOSELY AND YOU WILL FIND ALIEN FACES IN THESE FLOWERS

 AND THERE ARE OTHER SHADOWY FACES IN OUR YARD AS WELL
