Secret of hunting : the camouflage

I decided to perfect my hunting technique. Is it still possible, me who am already a formidable hunter ? Yes, it’s possible : today, I am how going to show you how to take advantage of present elements on your hunting territory.

Claire recovers zucchinis and marrows plantation zone with a kind of black cloth to avoid that weed grow under plants. The plastic bottle that you see is a miniature greenhouse for the zucchini seedling : it protects it from slugs, increases the heat ready, and keeps the humidity (Claire : and avoid that you crush it, Zorro !).

I thus decided to merge with the ground : in spite of the attachments and stones, I managed to skip under the cover. Unnoticed.

It’s hardly if we notice my presence. This tiny bump could be one harmless small pebble. Notice the discreet openings which allow me to see unnoticed.

Astute, right ?
Astute, isn't it ?

Territorial monitoring

PIXIE : As you see me there, I am concealed in raspberry bushes to watch better the surroundings…

PIXIE : Zorro, look !
ZORRO : Where ?
Where ?
PIXIE : In front of you !
In front of me ? Yeah...
PIXIE : Hey, did you see it ? He’s spying on us from the field !
He's spying us !
SPY : But what do they want me, these two ?
WTF ?

A fantastic weekend

Our buddy Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny was the luckiest during our giveaway. That made us laugh to see that Rafflecopter chose his name on Friday, because not long ago, it’s us who had luck on his blog.

The sun shone bright on Saturday. It was a magnificent day for the flower market of the village.

Claire did not come back empty-handed…

While she planted gerania, I had a good earth bath before doing a small garden tour.

I hope that you also spent a fantastic weekend !

Can we ask you for some purrs for Momo ? He’s going to be operated tomorrow to remove the screws he has in the foot and to free his nerve below the knee so that it can continue to regenerate and to get back its functions (flexion of the foot). We hope that everything goes well. For those who know us for less than two years, it’s still the consequences of the serious accident Momo had in December, 2014.
