Moose, Bunny and Baby for Wild Wednesday

Happy wild Wednesday! Moose the cat loves to tour the garden with me. She doesn't seem to have any hunting instinct so the yard birds and bunnies are safe.

Moose is a geriatric cat, at 19-20 years of age. At one point she weighed 13 pounds but now she hovers around 6 pounds. Her abundant fur hides her extreme slimness but other than arthritis and random dementia related yowling she seems very healthy and happy.

This cute and wild yard bunny is enjoying a cool shady spot.

Inside, my little Baby cat (who turned 15 this year) relaxes in her special cat bed. Even though she looks much smaller than Moose the cat, Baby currently outweighs her. Moose just looks larger because of all her extra fur.

Moose is more photogenic but Baby is my favorite cat of all time. I think she's adorable even in a blurry picture. Few people ever get to see her outside of photos because she's feral born and tends to hide whenever we have company but she's devoted to me and I adore her.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you and those you love!

Yard Bunnies for Wild Wednesday

Happy wild Wednesday! Last Friday's bunny photo was taken through a window but today's bunny photos were taken outside (standing only about 15 feet away from the rabbits!) and I think they're much better. Hope you enjoy them too.

I felt really blessed that the rabbits just watched me while I took their photos.

The little bunnies were alert but not concerned enough about me or my camera to move away until some pedestrians approached and scared them off. Then they hopped away and disappeared in the greenery.

Spring is definitely here and I'm enjoying both the wildlife and greening of the garden. What do you love about spring? May God bless you this springtime and always!

Primrose, Blind Baby Finch, Angelique Tulip, Baby Bunny and Daffodil

Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden"! Because I was under the weather and missed out on posting this week's "wild Wednesday" feature I decided to include some of my yard's wildlife in today's post.

As you can see in the photo above, our primroses are at peak; I love this cheery yellow one.

I'm no expert but I think this is a blind baby yellow finch. The other eye looks even worse than the one you can see in this image and it pokes around for a bit before finding the food hole. I am amazed at this little bird's tenacity and thrilled that we're able to contribute to its well being. It's the first blind bird I've ever noticed at our feeders.

The Angelique tulips are our favorite. The National Arboretum has a much larger collection of them (and theirs are even larger and nicer looking) but it's nice to have a few in our own yard.

Our first rabbit of the year has been feasting on our weeds (and hopefully will stay away from our flowers). We enjoy watching his cuteness hopping around the yard.

This might be the last of our daffodils but, by God's grace, there will be a nice variety of flowers coming throughout the year. Spring has just begun and I sure do appreciate its beauty.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you and those you love!

Which was your favorite picture? Do you have any tips for helping a blind bird survive in the wild? Or getting wild rabbits to eat just weeds and not flowers? I'd love to hear from you!

Cute Yard Bunny Photos for Wild Wednesday

When I walked by this cute bunny, instead of hopping away, it just hung out in my Maryland yard and watched me for a while. So I went back in the house and got my camera out, not really expecting the rabbit to still be there, but hoping it would be. To my surprise it was still there. It chewed on some grass and watched me for a while.

Then the bunny grabbed a violet leaf and made a couple of hops to the left.

Still within about 10 feet of me it decided to hang out for a while again.

I enjoyed watching it stretch its neck for tasty leaves and then munch on them. Then my neighbor's dog barked and the rabbit hopped away. I felt blessed to have been able to get so close to the cute wild creature and watch it for as long as I did.

Hope you enjoyed this week's Wild Wednesday animal photos!

May God bless you!
