Box turtle that I nearly stepped on in our back yard. Isn't it adorable? (we had a photoshoot in our kitchen; the turtle was then returned to it's original spot and proceeded to move across our yard; no idea what it was after but it was clearly annoyed about the interruption)
A couple of months ago, we trapped and relocated a groundhog that has made our garden it's own private dining room.
Well, it looks like we've got a new tenant.
My kids didn't capture it on the camera, but it seemed like there was some collaborative effort going on between a squirrel and this groundhog. The squirrel was shaking down our nectarine tree and the groundhog was picking up the (unripe) nectarines and munching on them.
When I went out to shoo them away, they both ran to a nearby stump and gave me a-look-over-the-shoulder (and then proceeded unhurriedly into the neighbor's yard).
I told my husband about the groundhog/squirrel BFF situation and the look of disgust they gave me. He didn't believe it: "What, like Disney?"
The kids backed me up. Ha.
