      Today's picture is of a green tree frog that I find in my plants when watering. They especially like the palm trees. Swaying on the wind.

      I have a wren who has built in a nest in one of my mother-in-law tongue plants and for the second time when watering, she flew out of the nest and brushed right past me above my shoulder. I could hear the flutter of her wings. Mental note to stand further aside when watering!

          @RockChalkinTexas-0 Love these posts! Must be fun every day. We have 2 hummingbird feeders in the gardens around our patio. Those little zoom demons go buzzing by us all the time! In cartoons, we would be spinning like tops while they dart back and forth from one feeder to the other.

            @mayjay Glad everyone is enjoying. I want to see some of you guy's photos though. It gives me a break from all the craziness in our world. The girls and I watched better than a dozen hummers last night before I put their feeders away. I have stood near where they feed holding a feeder in my hand and extending my arm and they will come to me and feed. I can really hear the buzzing when doing that. Last night Hattie was laying on the bench watching us watch the hummers. 🦊

              @RockChalkinTexas-0 I wanted to add some pics but couldn't find a link to add a pcture. In ages past, it was in the part of the menu bar accessed by scrolling to the right. Linking text or a url doesn't work because my pics are neither, just jpg's on my phone.

              Am I missing something, @approxinfinity ? 🤨

                When you are composing your words, look below the box and you will see a "download" icon. Click on that and then go your photo, hit copy and then go back and paste it in. Easy Peasy!!!!

                  Thanks so much! I'll look for some pictures and give it a try. Got an irrigation assignment now from my wife, the Master Gardener. (I guess that's how she learned that Lantana won't water itself!)

                    Today's photo captures "contrast." Caught this guy hanging out on the ground around some of the wild iris. Some kind of moth. Never looked him up.

                        Today's photo shows what is known as a "wildflower prairie" in my backyard that was sown with this specific seed (Mexican Hat) at least 15 years ago, back when Mike was mowing everything with his new Kubota tractor (a man thing I know). He also plotted out a clover field for the deer. When we have a wet winter, the moisture ensures that these beauties come back year after year. I have seen years where there is a carpet of them and then some years just enough in a group to continue the blooming. The bees love them.
