OK I know my grass needs cut but I was inspired by Tsubaki complaint/post about about chasing Loki all over the garden :D and it's not that often the sun shines here in N.Ireland so anyway here's Jenny kicking about the garden. Oh and she's just started going into shed so she's not looking her best :D

Nice pics! Hopefully River slows down by the time she gets to that size, she just keeps getting faster....You two posting your outdoor pics are making me sad as the temps are dropping lately, and it won't be warm enough to take them out for much longer. :(

Lovely as always Dave. Hopefully auntie Rachel will have shed before the temperatures drop again and I'll be able to grab some outdoor shots of her also.

Thanks BSG and don't let her size fool you :D young Miss Jenny gave Lisa quite a workout, my sides were sore I was laughing so much watching her trying to to take the photos

Thanks mate and you want to be there when she lifts herself up like a cobra and you can see her watching you, it's slightly unnerving :freakedout:

Ya, you need to cut your grass. I see your big retic and raise you a relatively small (~6-7') Dominican in the grass:

Grass not quite as tall, and offers more cover for the skinny snake, lol. He could easily pass for a stick with his brown colors, your big one us a bit more obvious. Fear factor rather than sealth?

You'd be surprised how hard a full grown retic is when coiled up waiting in its natural environment.

I have some photos from a zoo somewhere that I keep meaning to post and they have a killer retic enclosure which ably demonstrates my point.

Lol I just got it cut the other day the length was ridiculous you really would have lost Jenny in it and Daisy would have most definitely disappeared :D. But then that's the joys of living in a country were it rains more than in the freakin amazon :angry:

The only thing that surprises me is that the military hasn't caught onto this in someway and used it to their advantage :confused:

I hear you about the rain, we've had more than usual this summer. Usually by the end of July the grass is half brown and cooked from lack of water, and doesn't need mowed as often. No such break on the mowing this season, though it did help keep the flowers going as well.
