I love having several flower gardens.sure the flowers are lovely and growing the plant is very rewarding.
But, it is my contact with nature that continually amazes me. I love the birds, the chipmunks, the bunny that only eats the dandelion leaves and never bothers anything else.
We have named him, "Little Bunny Phoo-Phoo" (my 3yr old grand daughters idea) who actually lays on the patio within a couple of feet of us.
I had the chance (and honor) to come accross a female "jumping spider" that is living in our mailbox. I grabbed the camera and while taking some close-up shots discovered that she has tons of babies.
It was totally amazing! I try to respect most wild life and I am going to keep a close eye on mom and family.
Following is a couple of the family photos.
