Posted - 11/01/2003 : 3:10:36 PM This morning, between rain showers, I happened to look out the window and saw this interloper taking its leisure in the shade garden next to the patio.


Of course, She-Who-Rules-The-Yard took exception to the intruder and barked furiously and bravely, albeit from a distance. She continued to bark long after the hapless creature had ambled back to the woods until I wacked her with a broom because she was driving me .

Posted - 04/16/2018 : 11:34:21 AM When you see Woody on the same tree multiple times, you'll want to keep a close eye on that tree. It probably means the tree has a serious problem and is likely to come down sooner rather than later. Although he might just be taking a break from that tree/stump between the photographer and Woody himself.

Mike, that would be great for those solicitors.

Posted - 04/12/2018 : 4:21:19 PM The backyard was busy today. Early on the Moor Hens paid me a visit. The Sandhill crane is on the nest across the pond, shouldn't be long now till the eggs hatch. But the Moor Hens better beware because the gator showed up this afternoon. Humm, 6' of shoes.

Posted - 03/30/2018 : 09:45:39 AM I didn't find a picture that looked exactly like the one in my yard. I couldn't decide if it was one or the other. Thanks Mike. |

Posted - 03/30/2018 : 09:04:40 AM I believe that's a Dekay snake Frank. We have em' here as well. Had one on my layout awhile back in the process of getting ready to give birth. Got her out to the flower bed in the nick of time!

Posted - 03/29/2018 : 5:56:47 PM I found this little guy resting underneath some clutter on the side of the house and transported him to the back yard. It's a Florida Brown Snake, this one's 13" long and that's about it for these guys.

I hope he's not waiting on me!  |

Greg, do hummingbirds hum because they don't know the words?
They hum because they are not allowed to sing. Ask the only kid in the 8th grade who was not allowed to sing in the 8th grade choir. True story.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
