Here though, we have fun animals right outside our apartment. We live in an apartment complex right near the Chattahoochee River, and have a ravine right behind our building. This picture kind of shows the trees and such growing in the ravine. When it rains, there's a little creek at the bottom, sometimes running surprisingly quickly! ( You can also see Bella, who we found in the parking lot and adopted, and Omar, who we brought from CA.)
There are chipmunks living in the trees of our complex. They're adorable! Most of the time, I only see them scampering away from me, but when I'm lucky, I catch one sitting still. So cute! Bella loves to sit in the window and watch them. Sometimes I think she's going to break through the window and chase one!
Every now and then, and frequently lately, I see a turtle. Most of the time, the turtle is in the same place, sitting in the breezeway between our apartment doors. Today, as I was pulling out of my parking spot to go to the gym, I saw a turtle walking across the sidewalk.
A few days ago, this little guy moved in. He's been outside our door pretty much every time I come or go. This morning, he was on our doormat, and hopped into the apartment when I opened the door! He hopped right back out, thank goodness, because I think the cats would have found him pretty interesting. Mostly, he just sits on the ground and hangs out.
Finally, a skink. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what it is that I've seen. They get on our screen porch all the time, and I saw a big one with a missing tail today. Once, Omar found one inside and chased him for a while. Husband caught the poor skink and put him outside before Omar could do any serious damage.
