the weather has been unusually hot for this time of the year. It's getting difficult to get a good shot as they seem to be hiding. Only Mom is bracing the heat to spend some shade.

I’ve been following your winery tour and just noticed you have a whole month of the dikkop. It’s fun to see how fast the little one grows.
