Feed the tree, if you move the yews, what are you going to have before much time passes? An overgrown mess of shrub form trees that contribute a negative value to the overall property! The pictures offered are close-ups so don't explain the overall scene. If we were to see one that did, I think we'd see large shrubs that are destined to become trees because their width can't be accommodated by the space available. We'd see these future trees growing up into the bottom of a larger tree. It won't look good because the lower trees will grow sideways, reaching for light and when all the canopies mix. It'll look messy in addition to the negative obstructing effects that have been already pointed out by others. It'd be better to sell the Yews to someone who needs them.

Oh I get them everyday along with bunnies and racoons. They waddle on top of the block walls and run instead of flying the second I step outside. Sometimes they come out to front and run down the street. It's really wild here, they know they are safe, no one bothers them. What is rare to see is a roadrunner. They usually come around just in the summer. I hear coyotes about once a week and just today saw the pair of red tailed hawks. Isn't nature wonderful!

That's a great photo of your baby crow, Marg. Sharon, butterfly looks like it is the Northern Pearl Crescent. Thanks. I googled some other photos and the colors were a bit brighter than on the Alberta Insect site. I think the ladybug is the Three-banded lady beetle, though. Check it out...there seems to be white outlines around his black markings. Thanks for that link. Here is a link that might be useful: Three-banded Lady beetle

That's funny that you name them. Mine are Momma, Blackie, Little Blackie and "the other one"... LOL! They don't usually bother me (even to the point that they come out to "help" when I'm raking leaves) but when they started doing the twisty thing as a pair on my pool deck - I drew the line and got out the hose! BTW - If you missed your hummer for a day, she came down south here for a quick visit - thanks for sharing! It was the first time I have seen one here.
