More on the critter cam

 Tropical Storm Andrea blew through yesterday, dumping more than3"' of rain in a day.  Fortunately, the wind was not too strong, so there is little damage.  Some of my plants are bent over, but nothing appears to be broken.

Here are pictures of two things blooming this week,  white crinum lilies and bee balm.  The St. Johns wort bush has begun to bloom,  as have the hydrangea bushes and the canna.  My two elephant ear plants are looking healthy, and I am seeing phlox again this year.  I never saw it last year, but I have removed a lot of wild strawberries and mint from that beds, so both the phlox and bee balm can grow again.

I am having great fun with the wildlife camera.  I have captured nighttime pictures of a possum, fox and raccoon, and daytime pictures of squirrels and chipmunks.  Also our cat and the next door neighbor cat are big camera stars.  Here is the best video I have gotten so far, of a young raccoon.
