What kind of spider is that, looks creepy?

I'm not sure but yes creepy as...

The young Buck that has been going for the Apples out back, was startled because I was out front crouched down working on rocks.

Never have seen such large mushrooms before.  A website declares that they will not determine if they are "Destroying Angel" poisonous at all, just assume all are.
I picked the upside down last night, and the other had grown.

More nearby.

Attempting to grow some broccoli and cabbage before it gets too cold.

From this afternoon, Gila woodpecker (Melanerpes uropygialis) has figured out how to land on the hummingbird feeder for a sugar water snack.

Cool bird. Looks similar to the flickers we see around here. 

We have finches and orioles that try to use the hummingbird feeders.

Native more or less just to the Arizona Sonoran desert and on down into northern Mexico / Baja Peninsula. They're one of the birdies that create "saguaro boots," but when I looked that up just now, I learned that it's a long range planning thing, where the pecked-out area lining within the saguaro doesn't harden up for at least a year to provide a nest area to live in.

A woodpecker going at my new gutters the last two days. The deer have left after I dug up their sweet potato leaf buffet

Almost stepped on this dude on my way out the door. This guy's well fed from the looks of it.

More Bird Buddy visitors. The blue Jay was stunning.

I never "see" them in my yard but enjoy listening to the crickets all night during the summer. Strange that last night was the first time I didn't hear them. Maybe it's getting too cold at night now.

I did enjoy hearing an owl hooting very close to our open bedroom window. After a bit he moved further away but was still asking the same question "who, who, who"?

I've got a pair that live somewhere on the property, we get to watch and hear them all the time. Kinda interesting watching them hunt.
