The Garden Guardian

This wasn't the blip I was planning today, but on my way home from taking my previous choice of blip I saw this house with its strange objects in the garden. I have seen people do this before in France with grapes to sweeten them on the vine to make a sweeter desert wine, but these are no vines. It was only after I had taken a few images that I noticed the guardian observing me from the window, what did she think I was up to? was I about to dig up her prize blooms and run off with them?
She actually seemed to appear between frames because when I got home to download my shots I noticed that she wasn't there the frame before (only taken a couple of seconds before) - spooky
I am very much looking forward to the summer to see if all their efforts in keeping the frost ( and would be plant snatchers) away results in some wonderful blooms It might be worth another Blip!.
