    Nice...What kind of critters do you have
    I've been trying to attract birds.
    When i put the sprinkler on - it is a zoo around here.
    We have huge worms the birds battle with. We call them night crawlers, and they can reach over 12 inches.
    GF had a hippy shit when she saw one. Thought it was a snake.

    We just had our crab apple bloom. Pink blossoms. We have an established Japanese community. I worked for a guy whose family was interned.

    Smokey last evening. We're roughly 1200 miles (1931km) South East of Fort Macmurray. Took the picture about an hour before Sunset and normally the reflection off the lake would blind you ! The acrid smell from the smoke was very strong.

    We have seen the news coverage in UK. Scary stuff. I know that temperatures are way above average but am surprised that the snow melt had not left the landscape wetter. Stay safe.

    Keith, far better than a yard in any sense ! Looks like my daughter's but she put a self filling water trough in hers, too dry. Has caught the usual number of critters on a GoPro plus a black bear and a mountain lion.. My kind of "yard" !

    It suits me. I'm a hippy at heart. A right-wing, conservative, warmongering hippy. When not ranting about socialism or the government, I like put on the old Grateful Dead tee shirt and shoot at steel gongs from my porch.

    From what I read it seems foxes in Great Britain have adapted to suburban and urban areas like raccoons in the US. I hope you leave food out for them, though don't let the neighbors know!

    And the second best thing about your yard: No grass to mow.

    I'm jealous of you lot, my backyard consists of the Chicago skyline. No animals other that a few grizzled city rabbits.

    A visitor during broad daylight, just a day or two ago. This is just 65 yards from my front door.
