Autumn Deck Pictures and Confusing Terms

Hi everypuppy, it's me - Amber! Remember the other day when Zim posted of that "cool action shot" of him and Dave? (And my tail feathers? Hee hee hee.) We had such fun out on the deck that day! While Zim and Dave were playing, I saw somepuppy walk past the house with his biped and told the boys to look quick!

Halt! Who goes there!?!

Mom liked the way we lined up at the deck railing. You can still see the puppy's biped walking past. The puppy was much faster.

Here's a shot of Dave, kicking back.

He looks comfy, doesn't he? And Zim is still watching for that puppy, in case he walks past the house again.

Can you see that tree in the background? That's our White Ash tree. That's one of the things Mom went out to photograph. Here's a close up. Isn't it pretty?

I'm no Dave.... but it doesn't look "white" to me! Hee hee hee! We have a Purple Ash, too, but Mom didn't get a shot of it before the leaves fell off. Here are the Amur Maples, though:

It's the view from the deck! They're pretty, aren't they? I like the Pampas Grass, too - back there by the Austrian Pine. I sometimes get confused and call it a "pompous" grass, though. Hee hee hee! Confusing, isn't it?

Speaking of confusing terms ... a man who used to work for my dad got a little tongue-tied about a certain kind of reptile. Instead of "Komodo Dragon" .... he'd always say ....Kimono Dragon!

The elusive Kimono Dragon

Hee hee hee! I think the Kimono Dragon is native to Japan; I'll have to ask Jazz and Dixie! Hee hee hee!

Have a happy day, everypuppy!

Love,
Amber

  11. Hi Guys
    The Kimono dragon looks very scary. I wouldn't sniff him. Sorry I haven't visited your blog lately .. my mum is always busy (sigh). The trees look very pretty. It's nice to be a part of nature.

  16. Oh, I love fall pics & I love leaves & chasing leaves & running through the leaves...too bad we dont' really have falling leaves here in San Diego....Maybe I can pull some palm tree branches down...that might work.. Nice security work on the deck as well..no one gonna come & break into your pad!

    Love & Licks,

  17. Hi Guys,
    Yes we've seen a few Kimono Dragons around Tokyo. Some dressed very beautifully. We had a good little chuckle.
    Your garden looks very colourful. The leaves in the park here have started to change colour too but we are still waiting for the most beautiful of all - the ginko trees that line the street near our apartment. They look like a line of gold in the autumn sun when their leaves turn yellow.

  18. You all look so cool on the deck. Important for the pack to stick together and look assertive.

    Me and Prince used to do that, but now there is only me so I have to look assertive on my own. :( Of course if you came to visit me there would be two of us. :)

    I am working on the questions Am, honest.
