OMG, Killer Bug!

I was coming back from shopping. I bought a little pot of miniature sunflowers (which will spend a lot of time in the kitchen so the squirrels/chipmunks/etc./etc./etc. don't devour it) and was coming up the driveway when suddenly - eek!  the creature bounded onto the dashboard and began beating its arms against the windshield, trying to get out. So I stopped the car and got my camera out.


Cute little fellow!


Then he went to side window. "Let me out!" I could imagine him/her screaming.


Once outside, it was happy. Very happy. It didn't seem to mind me at all. Was fascinated by the camera - kept crawling all over it. I released it on a tree full of leaves where it rapidly just vanished amongst the greenery.



Oh, and here's one sunflower bloom.

And then, I was in the garden weeding (never-ending job) when suddenly, a flurry of sounds like something beating against a bush. Then a young hawk flew off. Think it got a chipmunk, of which we have.... too many. Didn't see any bird feathers (usually a few or more left in an attack) so.... bye bye chippie...

Oh, and saw a doe and a young buck in yard yesterday morning. Beautiful...


In fact, here's a picture of a deer (they all sorta look alike to me, except my 3-legged deer, who I saw last week).

Aww, poor little bug, trapped in that big moving thing.

We haven't gotten blooms on our sunflowers, yet, and the things are towering. My sister is getting rather annoyed about it, since they're her flowers.

My sunflowers that I planted (three times) are now about 3" tall. Half were devoured already. I've given up on growing them so I bought some...
