Don't go into the woods...

Exotic creatures observed in the neighborhood on this Sunday morning: smooth-talking "ne'er-do-well" walking home from Saturday night misbehavior, coffee cup in hand and bare-chested birdbath-filler with showercap.

Some of the usuals were present in the park as well - running man, Sissy and DeWayne...

The morning sun peeked into the recesses of the woods...making it so inviting...surely there ...is nothing dangerous, nothing hiding there...and Padimus struggled to follow the sunbeams..."come my child"...

But somes notice brambles, thorns, and fallen logs sheltering snakes and spiders and other creepies and crawlies. We settled for photos taken from the edge. And, as the probationers arrived to pick up trash and the trash-pickers arrived to separate out the aluminum cans from the detritus of weekend picnics, we headed home.

We snuck past the enemy - apparently just released from the house, she irritated neighboring dogs - walking the boundaries of her yard. But she never turned to see us slip by.
