What's new

What I see in my backyard...

Geminids! Bundled up and sat on the deck for an hour, saw about twenty good meteors. Probably missed three times that many because it's not all that are in my suburban yard.

This cheeky fella came to join me for brekki while I was away recently.

I think he wanted my brekki!

We heard this little fella in the bush and couldn't believe when he just came out in front of us and went on his way.

It's the same here, sunny and temps rising to 40 degrees. No chance of snow today!

Just had 2 deer in our backyard, bedded down. They are so cute looking. Hubbie threw an apple core out back and the young one went to it fast!

Is that a sign for pending future weather if that's the case?

What, 2 deer bedded down, looking cute........and no photos?

Your echidna looks like a porcupine / hedgehog. Great photos again, Leelai. :)

Yes they do look like those animals.....I guess they may be related, I'm not sure.

Also saw these cute little koalas

I'll post some later when I get home from work! They stayed for such a long time. Mother was preening the young one. It was so cute to see!

Leelai--you have such a variety of animals--if I wanted to see any up close, my only choice would be to go to the zoo with Gabe! Love the cute little koalas-don't think that there has been any pics of them posted in this thread! So cool! :)

It was high on my list to see some koalas on our trip.....I finally spotted a couple and I was so excited but they were so high up. Drove on another 5 minutes and couldn't believe how many there were in the area and how low they were sitting......I counted about 40 and that was standing in the 1 spot and scanning the trees!

It's a great feeling to know they are out there and in such good numbers especially as this area was devastated by fires a number of years ago and so much wildlife perished.

That's awesome that you saw them on your trip. When we went out to San Diego-we spent a day at the zoo. I must have spent 2 hours watching the koalas-just love how they look. I am just fascinated with them! Did you take these with a camera or your iPhone ?

Do you have the big slugs? I've seen them over 6" long.
