I've got some fox around where I live (Northern Virginia). Twice I have seen one inside my fence. Earlier this spring she was inside right by my deck with 3 of her babies. She took off when I came out. I got my camera and took some photos but would not let my dog outback until she came and retrieved her little ones.

Those coyotes love kittens and puppies. We raised turkeys for many years and we lost several to coyotes but by far the worse was dogs running in packs that would kill for the fun of the kill. At least the coyotes ate what they killed. We have outside dogs but they are in a fenced yard and also have the run of a small fenced orchard.

There must be young coyotes now; they stared yipping about 4:30 this morning and all the dogs for about a mile started howling with them.

Isn't it? I thought it was too cute, myself! : )

Arid Plant Designs of Tucson uses many different plants to increase the visual appeal of homes in the desert southwest while maintaining a low water usage rate. This is a picture of Texas Mountain Laurel in crushed granite.

Now, let me see if I can find your pool and tile or adobe...

Is that a Coyote? Beautiful animal. They are good at getting rid of small nasty rodents - mice and the such, I have heard.

Beautiful! Are those petals from a Hibiscus??

[dixie sass]

You can tell that they are related to Azaleas, can't you?

Posting this for Dixie Sass and me, Middleton Place in the Charleston, SC area,
located on the banks of the Ashley River.

Carved out of the wilderness in 1741, the home built there belonged to Henry Middleton,
the First President of The Continental Congress.
His son signed the Declaration of Independence.
It is America's oldest cultivated garden.

Can you scan them on the thread?

Oh, I want to go there!! That is GORGEOUS!!!! Thanks for the link!

Azalea's don't grow that well this high up in altitude...it's too cold for them. Thankfully rhodo's thrive up here.
I plant a few every year...all different colors and variations. Here's a different view of my iris bed...

[dixie sass]

At first glance I thought it was Wisteria.

You're absolutely right about the wild dogs...we've had ranchers lose cattle to the dog packs.

Well, time to go see the doc for a prescription refill...

I'll be back later to check out all the beautiful gardens!

Oh, yeah, Billie, here's your pool! Click the pic to go to their web site (Designer Pools of Arizona) for a free quote today!
