Bunny Hop


Bunny has been using my garden to test life outside the burrow. She doesn't seem to mind my presence as long as I move slowly and don't expect her to chat.

This gives a better sense of just how tiny she is

I caught this shot just in time. Later in the evening, Mr. Raccoon climbed the adjoining steel gate on his way to rob the bird feeder and apparently tried grabbing onto the sunflower stalk.

Bad move all round.

High Enders

There are sentinels overlooking the garden.
 

This kind of raccoon is the best--he's permanently fastened to the tree and doesn't attempt to nosh on my sweet little pond fish.

Cow lost her ears a few moves back but that doesn't prevent her from admiring the world from her Maple tree.


This is the view I get each day.

As you were, guys.

After the Rain


My elephant garlic is a triumph amongst drought victims in the garden.
We  take our victories where we can
The rain barrel is full--it was either that or my arm had to grow a foot longer to catch what was left from the bottom

Look at this--lovely red tomato hiding shyly under the leaves.

The cone flowers looked pretty good also; standing tall after a satisfying dash of rain.

It was a short but satisfying storm.
