What's Lurking in My Garden? My Wild Life In Westchester County

I live thirty odd minutes from Manhattan but sometimes it feels worlds away. My property used to be a 100 acre farm but 150 years later it's been reduced to a sliver of its original size. No matter, it still retains a wild feel with woods, a barn and all kinds critters from racoons, possums, feral cats and God knows what else. Want to take a peek?
All images are in the small size. To enlarge just click on it. That's it for this week. As the summer progresses, I'll post some more garden photo essays.


We enter the garden by a stone fence. The Gather Gnome likes it as a look out spot.

Flowers by the front porch.



















 Chipmunk, AKA Domino and Merlin's favorite snack.
This was taken through my kitchen window.










Merlin doing what he does best. This my secret spot by the pond. A good place to read or nap.







A tree fell into the pond.
It's reflects life. Sometimes we don't know which way is up ;-)




Domino likes this old chair by the pond.

Or sometimes this one.
