images from our backyard

our backyard is full of interesting things....these pictures are from this past spring. we love birds and have thoroughly enjoyed this bird feeder, left by our landlord. i finally was able to capture this chickadee coming for food. unfortunately, we haven't been able to afford birdseed since they will gothrough a 25 lb. bag in about a week! i miss our friends...i may break down soon to go buy some more. we also have a huge lilac tree that makes our whole yard smell heavenly! i took this picture just when the flowers were starting to bud. this little guy has been a visitor quite often. he's our bunny rabbit. Peter. we don't know where he lives, or if he (or she) has little ones around. but he lets us come pretty close, within a couple of feet. i think he's cute! these two birdhouses are our landlord's as well. they were both hanging in our lilac tree, but the chain on one of them broke, so now it just leans against the tree. we love our backyard, it is pretty spacious and we have a private little porch. i will have to take some pictures of that as well. our porch is our favorite place to hang out on the warm summer nights. i can't wait to use it more!
