There's never a dull moment out there in the back yard. Slime mold has made an appearance for the second year in a row, but this time it's a bit larger (see my post of August 21, 2015 -- "Slime mold" is for real). There it is below, next to my size 10 shoe, and not too far away from a rose bush crown. And there it is again in a real scary close-up.

Not too scary is a bumble bee who stayed overnight on a conveniently open 5 petal rose bloom. Have to give it credit because there was a tenth of an inch of rain last night. It was just starting to move around when I took the photo at 9 o'clock this morning.
And it's time again to check the progress of the shade tolerant 'Red Galaxy' roses that I grew from cuttings and are now 2 years old. Nine of them are quite content along the north side of the house. The chicken in the background definitely qualifies as "fauna".
