I didn't do too well with the planters hanging from the deck rails (usually Zinnias or Salvia) but the deck floor planter Mums are beginning to bloom...
The beds were mowed for renewal, but do you notice a small object near center top?
Marley and Ayla have mostly retired from hunting the bigger critters (mice are just fine these days) but Laz has an interest in rabbits and squirrels. I mean, he was LOOKING at the backyard (see the top pic).
It was funny. The rabbit was obvious to ME, but even when I picked up Laz and aimed his head to it, he didn't see it. Because the rabbit wasn't moving.
I understand. I'm shape/color/movement/far-sighted evolved and he is movement/sound/near-sighted evolved. And sees yellow-blue best (which is why bunnies and i are brown, I suppose).
So I whistled suddenly and the bunny twitched its ears. Wow did THAT get Laz's attention! He was off like a shot (I have a wound to prove it) and went right after it. No chance to catch it off course but he was enthusiastic. Give a rabbit a headstart and no hope for a cat.
But it probably made his day. He didn't need any food, but "the thrill of the chase" was good...

I bet he got a real buzz out of it.
Better luck next time, Laz!

My mums are already gone by. I bought some beautiful lilac colored ones thinking if i deadheaded them, more would grow, but they don't work that way-expensive lesson.
