More garden visitors

After weeks of rain, we finally had a dry day, and Tiggie went out to observe the garden.

The coleus is growing fast, and the colors are just gorgeous.
Looking out at the scene, it is hard to remember that cats do not see color.
Tiggie sat and sat there for the longest time.
It took me a few minutes, but it finally dawned on me:
Tiggie was posing.
So of course I went and got the camera right away to capture the colorful scene.
You are right Tiggie; it really is a perfect backdrop for a picture of a faithful orange cat.

That night, both boys were pacing around the back door, stretching their noses to leave nose prints on the glass. I finally got up to check out what the big deal was.
It was a frog, clinging to the french door's glass pane.
No wonder the boys were so excited!

Froggie apparently believes he should just come as he is when dropping by for a visit.

Love those googly eyes!

Froggie sure is tiny.
It has been raining so much here lately, and has been so warm and humid that Bernie says outside smells like a frog's underarm.
I guess I should of at least tried to see if that was an accurate statement; personally I have never sniffed a frog's arm pit.
But it wouldn't surprise me to learn that somewhere along the line there was group of little boys with a frog and a little time on their hands....

I'm just sucker for any lime green critter: Anole lizards, tiny grass snakes, insects, tropical birds, fish, turtles, and frogs.
I wonder if there is any other species that I am leaving out.

After I took his close-up, Froggie hopped over to the window screen.

Hey, where'd the frog go?
He was here, just a minute ago...what happened????
