Black Carpenter Ants Swarming With The Queens

After the rainstorm today on the farm I went out to check the blueberry plants I potted this month.  They looked good, and were glad of the rain. On the way back to the house I noticed a swarm of ants in the spruce tree.  I have been taking photos of the hole in this tree for a few years now and video sometimes.  Birds have nested in it, ants lived in it and have infested this tree.  The sap flows freely and is useful also.  I like spruce gum!

Rain Storm On The Farm

Just a short rain storm in Vermont!

White Admiral Butterfiles In The Road

These are White Admiral Butterflies that were on a road near my home. The rad was right by a small brook and in this video it is like the butterflies are dancing to the music of the brook.  Doggie and I had a great time filming this. We were in the shade, by the side of a beautiful forest road.

At The Brook With Dingo Doggie

It was so hot out yesterday that Doggie and I took some time off to go to the brook to cool off.  Doggie was on guard most of the time though, looking up the brook.  Later we found out that there is an injured black bear in the area. I wonder if he might have smelled it.

This little bird made a nice nest in the lilac tree! I hope to get a lot of photos and videos in the next month!

Take a look at my store on Zazzle if you have a chance! All products there have my photos on them and I get a royalty for the use of them.
