Before the Monsoon by grammyn

Before the Monsoon

Philbert came out from his hiding spot under the shed today to do a little exploring and get a little snack before the heavy rains came through this evening
Looks like a nice salad there for it. Very nice closeup capture.

@shutterbug49 I just mowed the lawn yesterday, so there was lots of scraps for him to munch on
@louannwarren this is our resident groundhog. We discovered him last fall, and he has been hibernating under the shed.

He is cute! Did he come out for Groundhog Day? Nice shot of him.

His cousin Punxatawney Phil predicted Spring will arrive soon. I hope Philbert got the memo!

I don't think I've ever seen a groundhog before
March 9th, 2024  
@olivetreeann is he real?

March 9th, 2024  
Oh Katy I hope it's an honour to have him in your garden and he's not a pest?
March 9th, 2024  
So cute
March 9th, 2024  
Cute chap.

@grammyn ahhh a groundhog! He looks healthy and happy!
March 9th, 2024  
Aww, cute little guy!
March 9th, 2024  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes- this will give you more info than you ever wanted to know on him!

Thankfully this year he predicted an early Spring and the weather so far seems to be agreeing.

@olivetreeann well I never!!! Thank you 😊

Cute to see, but perhaps not so cute to have in your yard.

@eudora he came out the day before I think and DID see his shadow
@olivetreeann Philbert did not! HE sawe his shadow and we have had many more cooler days since
@koalagardens LOL I see what you did therer
@johnfalconer thanks John
@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana I hope to get some more also
@kjarn you won't be able to say that ever again will you?
@30pics4jackiesdiamond some think he is a pest but he has been very fun to watch so far.
@johnnyfrs we think so too John
@wakelys very entertaining to watch before he scurries back under the shed
@louannwarren I think he is very healthy .the happy I can't attest too
@mccarth1 I am glad you thinnk so too Kerry
@randystreat he has the potential to be a nuisance but so far we like him

What a nice shot of Philbert. Beautiful color and details.

@grammyn Philbert must be the "black hog" of the family!
March 10th, 2024  
@marilyn thank you so much he moves rather solely unless he feels threatened so so it wasn’t too difficult to get this shot
@olivetreeann lol! You’re probably right
