Seriously this pigeon is massive.

Probably post pics of the garden when I can be bothered.
Jesus! Tits are hard enough to attract without some bastard pigeon scaring the women away! Mind you, we have pigeons that do the same. ****er can't get onto the perch for the feeders in the picture, but can stand on the water bowl which just lifts him up enough to get his beak into the hole. Once one figured it out, they all do it now.

A killer lemon tree? ****! Have you told the cops? Probably scared it will murder you, huh?

If I had a real camera, I'd post pics of my yard. My mom is bit of a gardening freak, and so our front yard is actually kind of impressive, especially now that it's Spring. The very front and one spot in the middle, is lined with crapemyrtle trees, and for about a week in the Spring or Summer or whenever, our front yard just has this vibrant curtain of bright pink that makes all the other yards around us look like ****. I'm not a flower lover by any means, but even I think it looks beautiful at that time of year.

Our backyard is less maintained, largely because we've always had large dogs with access to it that have kind of made gardening almost impossible. There's a strip of garden around part of the backyard that's protected by wire fencing, but that's mostly small trees and high bushes for privacy's sake.
Hey, you should have seen it before the extension was built! I'm surprised nobody dumped a dead body there, thinking it was waste ground. We had an old fridge lying against the wall (the other side, the wall you see was not built at that time), a pile of wood and stones and rubbish in both corners, huge spiny bushes that would eat you if you went near them ... compared to that, my garden today is a paradise!
