| Visiting Finch |
It's been a great summer so far and a good season for Flat Bottom Flowers. The bees were in abundance this year, which is always a good sign. I had a couple of other frequent visitors as well including hummingbirds and finches. The finch shown here took a liking to my basil. I had to shoot it through the glass door because I knew if I opened the door, it would fly away.
I had another visitor as well though finding himself in my garden was probably never part of his plan. I went to the garden center last weekend and bought some onions, lettuce, and a few cool weather annuals. I also bought a couple of pots (like I need more--but there are worse habits; that's what I tell myself anyway). I got home and put everything out on the deck. A while later I went to sort everything out and found this guy in one of my newly purchased pots; he must have hitched a ride back with me. I keep calling him a frog but I guess he's really a toad because he has a dry appearance. The difference is that frogs have a wet, slimy appearance. Whatever. Welcome to your new home.
