garden photos, mostly blurry

i continue to be displeased with how the iphone focuses, or not. but these the best that i have. *sigh*

a few of the fritillaries i planted years ago are hanging on. one seems to be new, so i guess they're not doing too badly.




i'd write these off as squirrels digging for their nuts, but the middle one seems too wide and deep for that. but i was wrong about the woodpecker holes, so what do i know?




a tiny snake hiding in the litter i was clearing to plant dahlias. the whole thing might have been just six inches long.

I've tried a few times but never got them to grow.

Could also be skunks.

that's actually very likely, since there are skunks in the neighborhood.

Yeah, they like to dig for roots and worms and such. We have several here this year. One of them is fond of entering human territory and I have to keep shooing it away from the patio.

I was going to mention skunk as well.
