Welcome to my post for the Tuesday Garden Party!
If you have a blog, and have garden pictures to share - Join in on the Tuesday Garden Party fun!!!
This has been a fun year to see critters in my garden…
There have been many more than what is pictured…
Most of which there are no pictures of…
These are a few I have captured recently...
Here is a Red Admiral on the Common Milkweed...
A garter snake by the cucumbers...
A shot farther out to give you an idea about size (there was a baby with a head the size of a pencil eraser at the top of the retaining wall - nest in there?)
The next morning this little bird (fledgling? not sure about what kind of bird) right around where the snake had been...
And this female preying mantis has been hanging out for a few days. Wonder if I will find an egg casing around... Going to keep a lookout for one...
These are just some of the recent visitors. I also saw a frog - not a toad like normal, just this afternoon while watering… Of course, I wasn't able to get close enough to get a clear picture before he hopped into the jungle of my garden plants...
What fun!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful pictures! Did you ever find the egg casing?
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love the bird butterfly (I think you can keep the snake though... ;-) ) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos - so great to have wildlife in the garden!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I saw some mantis egg casings in the spring, but haven't seen any around the garden yet. They are so fascinating...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for the shout-out!
No casing sighting yet… I keep looking though! Never know when you will all of a sudden see a bunch of little Mantids hanging out.
