a visitor under our neighbor’s tree having a bit of a snooze…
a favorite Abalone shell caught at just the right moment in the sun…
and our resident rabbit keeping an eye out with sun shining from behind her ears as she munches on clover…
a sweet surprise in our herb box reseeded from last year…
♥ thank you very much for your visits and I hope you are enjoying the season you are in ♥

I visit and I can feel the release in my shoulders as I relax into the beauty of this post.
Mr Fox is so glorious. I want to reach out and touch his fur and sweet Mrs Rabbit. The beauty of Mother Nature contained within the shell, perfection it surely is and then a cute photograph to finish.
You surely captured the beauty of all manner of nature in this post.

Ahhh, another respite in Patty’s world…with so many glorious photos. I’m thinking the bunny might need sunscreen on those ears! Also, your sweet surprise looks like a mythical, dragon-like creature to me, albeit a very pretty one. I know, I have a strange imagination….:D

It’s so beautiful to see the animals outside like that. Fantastic photos!! I take a lot of animal photos but they don’t always cooperate. Camera shy I guess. Your pictures are fabulous 🙂 Thank you for sharing! ~Sophia

Those bunny ears nearly blew me away. I had NO idea they were so translucent, or their veins were so pronounced. Love the abalone shell, too, but thought it was a lamp when I first saw it. Did I mention how that bunny photo nearly blew me away (grin)?

Such beautiful photos. The borage is fantastic and, in close up, looks rather like an alien monster. However, I think my favourites are the fox and the bird bath. How lovely that you make it so pretty for your feathered visitors.
