Before we left Italy I posted Here about the huge flower stalk on an agave which I hoped would still be open when we return. MrFF had been checking our security camera and here it is in flower, it looks spectacular.
He also showed me on the camera archive that three pine martens had been playing among my pots at the back door of our house. Sadly neither of us can get the video to transfer to blogger or capture a still. Last year we saw one pine marten, these three seem quite young so maybe they are the kits. They were having such a jolly time chasing each other and climbing in and out of pots at 3 am in the morning. Like the bats they are protected in Italy and not known for causing any damage in the garden. Here’s a photo taken from the internet, the ones we have are just as adorable and very welcome visitors.
I love having security cameras around our home, I always check them whilst we are away.
ReplyDeleteThat plant is pretty impressive! The pine martens look cute. We have lots of squirrels around here and the odd rabbit. Also racoons but they are nocturnal so we don't see them, just their nasty deposits!
