What's in your backyard?

It's been exhaustingly hot and humid here this week but a few things have perked me up. Going into the backyard to feed our fish

I noticed something bright orange


It was Mr. Box Turtle crawling out of the woods for a little dip. Perty 'aint he? Also have a family of robins that made a nest under our deck that we can see from our office window. There are four babies

But only two wanted their pic taken.

Thank you so much! It really has come a long way from when we started with just dirt and some rocks.

I see box turtles in my yard a lot. Very nice backyard. We can't have a pond with fish because my dogs would go fishing( especially my Lab) *lol*.

Thanks. They come through ours about twice a year. Maybe a kiddie pool for the pups would be better :)

I catch painted turtles in my neighborhood trying to cross the road. I have to jump out of the car and redirect them so they dont get squished.

BTW - I have to send you a piccie of the devil I bought from you. I LOVE him!

That happens to us all the time! If it's a busy road I cringe hoping they don't cross it again. Please send pics of Devil! Always love to see them in their new homes. So glad you love him! (although for some reason I always refer to Devil as a her...hmmm)

Thank you so much. It's one of the few reasons we still live here. We also get loads of deer grazing -- this time of year they have little fawns with them. So cute!

Lovely yard and great picture of the turtle! I wish I had a yard to show you :(
But for now, looking at yours is very pleasing! Thanks!

Wow! That turtle is such a bright little guy! So is that just one of the native wild ones in your area that has rocked up to your pond? The birdies are very cute too, thanks for sharing! ;)

Your very welcome! I was thinking about all the lovely spring pics you posted before and thought why don't I do that?

Nice Garden. The little "river" looks nice.
