A gladioli (sp?) that I saw growing in a yard near our home... just a single stalk, but beautiful.

Wild berries are the sweetest
There are wild black raspberries all over our neighborhood's back roads, and oh, are they deliciously sweet... when ripe. If not, they are so sour! The only way to tell if they are ripe is if you pull slightly on the berry and it falls off. It can be very dark, but unless if pulls off easily, it is NOT good to eat.
ask my how I know!
My Bella Boo
Bella loves her kitty balls, squeaky tough rubber toys that have a squeaker inside. She has two pink ones (she knows them ONLY as "pinkkittyball" and won't respond to "ball" or "kitty ball"), which are her favorites, and an orange one (as seen in the photo). She knows the difference in color, and prefers different kitty balls on different days - rarely the orange one, but today was a rare day.
The squeakers are all either pushed into the toy, or barely squeak. She LOVES squeakers, but her obsession causes her to chew to try to get at them and thus ruining the very thing she loves.
these balls have a big kitty head and a small round body and tiny feet (she has the head in her mouth).
Together
Our newest addition, Mimi Mimsy Moo has decided she wants to cuddle up next to the cat, Sylvie. This was definitely new for him, but they did lie there side by side (Sylvie is actually in the dog bed shared by Mimsy and Bella, alternatively) with Mimsy on a dress that I'd just taken off and was going to put in the wash.

Clouds have settled upon the mountain
I love how it looks on the mountain behind us, RICH MOUNTAIN is the name, when there is a storm or fog. The clouds often descend and make the mountain invisible!
Kitty running away
Kitty running away from us on Meadow Street. May be a feral cat, but was really pretty. Bella was very disappointed that it left so fast. We were out in the evening, something we do every night (unless raining or too near to a storm), when we turned on this road to look for raspberries. This kitty was there, and this is it running away when we got closer.

She came to us as a rescue on May 30, 2012
This is a photo that I created on an app I have on my iPhone (free, too!),
Bear in the evening
The temps have been extremely high for this area, in the upper 90's, which has led to us staying inside a lot. Tonight, we went out for a good long ride (we go every day, but usually are outside more), and found an apple tree full of small tart apples (crabapples?). There were many on the ground with one big bite out of each, about the size a deer would leave if they tasted it. Guess they didn't like them!
We saw three deer racing across the field near our street, and they were just beautiful. I didn't catch them on the camera, though. :(
