I thought I would share a typical Sunday in the summer out here at my home. Being that the temps have been in the 100's for most of the summer, it seems like most of us come to life in the morning hours, then hibernate for the day until the temperature drops below 100 in the evening. These photos were taken around 8:30 am today: 
Scott and Evan check on the water level at the tank in the lower pasture.
Hummingbird at the esperanza.
Hummingbirds at one of the feeders.
A doe and a buck at the barn.
Butterfly, a purple-spotted or a pipevine swallowtail, at the esperanza bush.
Indira, my peahen, sits on the car that I should have parked in the garage just for the very reason that she usually likes to perch there.
These two photos are of Buddy, Minnie Pearl, Almond, then Prime Time and Paleface.
The hummers come back out to get some dinner at the feeders.
Evan helps water the plants.

My peachick, who is quickly growing up.
Then, as I said, not much happens during the heat of the day. I cleaned up a bit outside, cleaned the chicken coop, etc. and felt absolutely awful, like I'd run a 10K or something, and wanted to throw-up. It's just so damned hot!
By 7pm, the activity starts back up and I captured a few more pics of the residents out here in my backyard. Here they are enjoying the evening hours:
