The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons

LOL, if it were a close up of asphalt, concrete, glass etc....we'd be stumped.

Thank goodness the spaghetti squash seeds were fast to germ. Everything else in this planter is gone:

Hmmm...... tear down of last years' model or cheap construction crew on this years?

Darn chipmunk damage. Did you start your cracked corn feeding yet?


I would guess shoddy construction. I usually see supporting branches as well as the branch to hang from. I suspect the hornets forgot to build where they had lower supports...... not knowledge, just an opinion

These younguns are worth their weight in hugs

The Lemon has thinned its own fruit, most have dried, shrivelled and fallen from the plant, but at least 2 are breaking all local records and beginning to take on a lemon shape, well they are in my mind

(Canna, it was a 'Patio Sicilian Lemon', marketing name?)


Colour on the kitchen windowsill, not sure what the succulent is but it is well overdue for up potting

I see an upside down dead bird in that succulent....

Looks like a little kookaburra... I just did a search, I only said that as a joke.. But kookaburras have been seen in Yorkshire, don't know if that's close... They eat meat. You'll know it by its laugh..

 

[Dennise]

How friggin cool ....

 

[ajagunle]

Yorkshire is almost as far from me as you can get without being in another country but I forget how small England is.

Not far from here there is a wild Mob of Wallabies, they escaped from a private collection and liked it, there were lots of reports on TV and the papers of strange sightings in the 70's until they were properly identified

Hi Dennise

 

[Dennise]

High aj....

Today's Baby Mammals

I know they terrorize gardens... but they are so cute !


Chipmunk, Red Squirrel, and Gray Squirrel babies together on the deck

Baby Groundhog (two black eyes and nose in center of photo below the rock border)

The Mrs, reports that about 1/2 hour after this photo, baby groundhog had browsed along the path to the patch of clover in the bottom of the photo. Lying on it's side chewing on clover flowers... Until I reved the car in the front of the house and dropped the clutch - followed quickly by baby groundhog scampering along the paths to safety.

Hi AJ - Dennise


Mobs of naturalized wallabies in England

 

[ajagunle]

I had to look-up the collective noun for Wallabies, I think a Murder of Crows has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?

I love the wildlife on your property, sorry you're moving just as I discover your Garden journal

The back deck and Pergola are filled with Honeysuckle blooms. This is going to smell awesome in a couple days!
I'll try to get a pic from a distance tomorrow to show how much is there.
