We used bone meal one season and the foxes were just OBSESSED with digging up our plants. Never tried that again!<br /><br />YP: They look better than I thought they would. The paler color is definitely nicer than the dark gray wet cement.<br /><br />GZ: Yeah, it is kind of a fish-eye! (Much cheaper!)<br /><br />E: Ha! I'll find something else to play around with photographically, I'm sure.<br /><br />Mitchell: Thanks! Creativity borne of desperation. :)<br /><br />Jennifer: Well, hopefully it will work well in the stone and not become an obstacle.<br /><br />Mary: We'll probably put them out this weekend. They should be plenty dry by then.<br /><br />37P: Yeah, I've been thinking about how to put out the stones so the glass is in a less-trafficked area!<br /><br />Briony: Mine too!<br /><br />Ms Moon: The daffodil fits the circular shape of the frame. That was my thinking, anyway.<br /><br />Alphie: Yeah, this was a transient experiment! You'll see more bizarre shots here from time to time, though, I'm sure.<br /><br />Padre: Olga was NOT thrilled with the wet paw but it turned out pretty well! (Better than it looks in the photo.)<br /><br />Robin: Thank you!<br /><br />Red: Oh, I'll come up with more, I'm sure.<br /><br />Sharon: Yeah, I'm glad we kept it rather than recycling it.<br /><br />Catalyst: Trying!<br /><br />Jenny-O: Yeah, we could just set these out somewhere and NOT step on them, I guess. But I'd really like them to be functional. We need some stones right off our patio where it gets muddy in the winter.<br /><br />Allison: I am so thankful the Heath is nearby. But you have all those amazing mountain trails! Can you still walk those, or are they closed now?<br /><br />Bug: I saw your Waterlogue photo! Nice!<br /><br />Edna: You should dig out those filters. I bet you could use them with your camera now!<br /><br />Linda Sue: I think I'd have gotten tired of it pretty quickly -- but it was a fun experiment.<br /><br />Ellen: Yeah, I'm not sure how well ours are going to wear. We'll see.<br /><br />Penelope: Funny you should say that -- I mentioned drinking in today's post!

As you can tell, I didn't notice your link - I try to always read links on things I'm going to comment on. The thinking on masks is still evolving in the news today, I see.<br /><br />The photos through the glass are beautiful. The glass looks kind of like water surrounding the subjects. And the refraction of colours reminds me of a kaleidoscope, especially effective in the Olga picture.<br /><br />We use our stepping stones as decorations, not as literal stepping stones; if you do that there would be no worry about tripping. Yours look attractive and make a nice set.<br /> jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-87921306650194649142020-04-01T17:29:46.068+01:002020-04-01T17:29:46.068+01:00Yes, you ARE bored.

We have a fox coming regularly to the garden...in fact I think it might be residing next door, at the bottom of their " garden" which is just a totally overgrown mess. Alexi spends a lot of time with just his backside poking out of the hedge between us ( there is also a wire fence on their side). Yesterday morning we caught Mr or Mrs Fox digging in my pots like a squirrel. The tiny heucheras that I had transplanted had been totally uprooted!
