Whats in your garden?

I was outside watering this morning and decided to grab the macro as I saw Momma Anole lizard and the baby anole lizard...

My boganvilla is just gorgeous and loving the S. Texas blast furnace...

The toads were having fun too!! Normally they hide in the dirt during the day but this morning they were all out and about in the flower gardens...

I sprayed the wild mums with water and I spotted Momma Anole lizard. She was lapping up the water droplets on the leaves. I went and grabbed the camera and she didn't seem to mind the Macro lens stuck in her face, lol...I love how clear and crisp her eye is...I used the on camera flash as I didn't have time to put the ring flash on...You can click on this photo to bring it up a bit larger and get a better look...I also spotted the baby anole lizard on the Aloe plants but couldn't find him/her after I had the camera...to bad they wouldn't pose together, LOL...I wonder if Momma anole lizards eat baby anole lizards...Ekkkk

I took this one so I could use the bricks for size reference...


Then I spotted this grasshopper chomping away at the wild mum leaves, grr....

I think my garden is the only green spot in this area...now lets just hope the snakes don't find it as it seems the anole lizards, toads, grasshoppers are moving in and bigger predators are never too far away...

I did spot a couple of hawks flying around today...one was a red-tailed and the other a grey hawk. I was busy helping or bugging the a/c guy so I didn't grab the camera...Yes we have a new unit and I have cool...oh sooo cool air in the house...I'm loving it and so thankful for a/c! The temp this afternoon at 5:30 was 104 F. outside, UGH!

Jake is a very happy dog...

I would like y'all to keep my Father in Law in your prayers too...He's having some health problems and sure could use some prayers!
