Then I turned to come into the house and there was a pair of Ibis in my front yard! They love all this rain because it brings the bugs up to the surface. Ibises are welcome anytime in my yard! Some people consider them to be good luck! I just like looking at them. :) The one that's kind of brown is a yearling. They don't turn completely white until they reach maturity at about 1 year old. It's unusual for them to be alone like this though. But it was a nice surprise too!
At least there's something for the now 17 straight days of storms and pouring rain! Thank God for sandy soil! It drains away quickly. But I think all of us South Floridians could use a bit of a break! Hurricane season has set in on us and has started with a bang. The year after we moved in we got a month straight of rain like this and it was a BAD year for hurricanes! Hopefully this year won't be the same... Still, all it takes is one... Might be a good way to get to the lodge in Alaska tho! As long as I can get my things out first and we're safe... ;)
Have a wonderful summery day!

Oh WOW, what great pics!! And what nice surprises to wake up to!!
Wow, the flowers are beautiful and the the ibis are so cool. Would love to see that in our yard. Instead we have the reappearance of mole hills---Uggh!!! They tore our yard apart last year.
Your hibiscus are beautiful and isn't it fun to see that kind of bird in your yard? We lived in S. Fla for about 7 years and I remember all of these things and the rain!
