I spent time in the garden on Mother's Day

The Male is ever vigilant, on guard at all times.

Our tax dollars at work!!!

We requested the city to take down this dead Elm tree that was at the corner of a very busy intersection.

It took two days for them to do the work.

They had to stop at 3 pm to make sure the school buses could get through.

Spring in the Garden

Have a wonderful Easter!

Snowdrops Pop Up

A sunny spot next to the chimney makes 

for a few early blooms.

Snow and Fur

The wind was whipping and his little tale was waving madly.

 Mr. Squirrel is preparing to jump on to the open feeder.

I would love to take more pictures of wildlife but you have to have a really nice camera or be real close to your subject.  I still struggle with the point and shoot camera.  Easy to carry around but you just can not take those special pictures and be guaranteed that it will focus on what you want it too.

Trip out west

Distracted : Out my window

It is a beautiful October afternoon and

I didn't much feel like staying in my chair.

Out side my window at work is a courtyard 

walled in on one side by a 3 story 

brick building covered with ivy.

There are windows under that bunch of greenery believe it or not!

Out of the corner of my eye I saw some movement.

A starling was perched on the vines

gobbling up the blue berries that hung in great clusters.

Our trip to Bedrock Garden

 The Tea House set up for sleeping.

We had a wonderful day traipsing about this privately owned garden.  

They open it to the public a few times a year. 

The scultures are created on site using the their large collection

 of parts from old farm implements and machinery.

Most all of the sculptures are for sale.
