Ready for a close up

Angelina is ready for her close up as the little terror keeps things in check in the Jungle. Posted by Picasa

Cat Nap

Ninja takes 5 after an afternoon of hyper kittens. Posted by Picasa

Hiding in the flowers

Our master of escaping is "hiding" in the Nasturtium, maybe waiting for them boids? Posted by Picasa

Taking time to smell the flowers

Houdini investigates the Nasturtiums and checks to see if they have a lovely scent. Posted by Picasa

The bonding continues

The 3 are getting along great, and Houdini checks out what is happening with Ninja as Angelina looks on. Look at the big fluffy tail! Posted by Picasa

Beautiful Blue

In another kind of Morning Glory, we found these beautiful sky blue flowers that add a nice color in the back yard. Posted by Picasa

Morning Glory of another color

We tried a few different kinds of Morning Glory this year, and noticed the different kinds of leaves and flowers. This beauty has delicate green leaves and gorgeous white flowers with a blue star design. Posted by Picasa

Morning Glory

The Morning Glory is blooming like crazy this time of the year, and we know this means we will have lots of seed for next year. This particular variety has beautiful pink and purple flowers. Posted by Picasa

Official Kitten Sitter

Ninja keeps an eye on things as the other 2 play around the back yard. Although a bit more low key this year, Ninja is still very spry for his 16 years and keeps things in check. Posted by Picasa

Afternoon Grazing

Angelina enjoys some of the lawn as she grazes for awhile in the afternoon. Although cats seem to be carnivores, lawn munching seems to be pretty natural too. Posted by Picasa

End of Vacation Time

Houdini enjoys some time outside before we are all back to work and there is less playtime outside. Posted by Picasa

Sneaking down the back stairs

Angelina continues her daily "running of the Squirrels" and comes back down to see what other trouble she can get into. You can see the huge leaves on the Morning Glory on the right, and the Squash that is growing on the left. Posted by Picasa

The Back Corner

The Back corner of the Jungle is now all grown in with various herbs, flowers and tons of Morning Glory, beans and Squash. If you look closely, you can see the frog floating on his lily pad in the birdbath. Posted by Picasa

The Big Picture

From up on the 3rd floor, here is an overview of the Urban Jungle. As you can see, the yard is pretty much surrounded by vines of all kinds and all is pretty lush and green. Posted by Picasa

Angelina's Dental Program (part 2)

Here's a better shot before she ends up snapping the line and then trying to go for the other one. Posted by Picasa

Angelina's Dental Program (part 1)

Angelina has discovered that she can reach the fishing line (placed around the yard to impede Pigeons) from the top of the BBQ and has decided to floss. Posted by Picasa

Peanut Gallery

The 2 monsters are fixated with stuff happening in the neighbour's yard, and get up on the BBQ to check things out. Posted by Picasa

My Kingdom for a Cool place

Houdini becomes more inventive as he tries to beat the hot and muggy heat that we have been experiencing, and has discovered that the sink is nice and cool. Course it makes it a bit more complicated when you want to brush your teeth. Posted by Picasa

Looking for more trouble...

Angelina is constantly looking for fun and excitement, and Houdini is always an easy target. The 2 spend many and hour each day running around the house and yard. Posted by Picasa

Another stressful day in the Urban Jungle

Houdini enjoys his creature comforts, and will enjoy some quiet time relaxing in the garden before being disturbed by his hyperactive sister. Posted by Picasa
