Cultivated and visitors

Harley the Wonder Dog hears Bob coming up the lane and so steps into my daffodil photo, which is better than lying in them which he had been attempting a few moments before.




Fortunately he missed these visitors:
This male and female wood duck waddled across our lane on their way to a little pond protected by the forest.  Last year a pair stayed through the summer, perhaps they will this year too.


They are welcome visitors.....  unlike the porcupine that Harley found but fortunately did not touch.  He came back to my call in time for the prickly visitor to retreat up a tree.  Phew and thanks for Sherry for working on this encounter retrieval last summer...
