Opossum prefers Honeycrisp or Gala… but Red Delicious were on sale and Opossum says they’re fine… but maybe “Delicious” is a step too far

Titmouse screamed into every hollow… because when there’s a predator about and you’re the neighborhood safety officer- that’s just what you do💚

Umm… I dunno if that’s a good idea, Katydid- there’s usually a frog down there

The littles are venturing out on their own… learning how to squirrel😄

Normally, I’d cut down this little invasive privet… but this one serves as a neighborhood bulletin board- with important scents left by Opossum later received by Raccoon

Nobody gives side-eye quite like Anole😄
Anole clinging to the side of our tiny greenhouse- wondering when I will move along and quit interrupting their bug hunt

Frog’s careful not to show too much interest… tries to keep it casual🐸

Squirrel adjusted the camera angle to give us this unique view of her having a drink at the corner pond… Frog is unbothered by this development- just waiting for bug snacks to appear

Pickerel frog buddies sharing a bit of moss tonight
Two frog friends snuggled into a mossy spot- facing different directions:
“don’t worry buddy, I’ve got your back… nobody’s gonna invade our moss”

Just a pond of fallen leaves… definitely not home to six Pickerel Frogs and a Leopard Frog😄

My family said these grapes were not the best- but Opossum says they just don’t know what’s good… cause these are Delicious😄

Squirrel has strong opinions about camera angles… I adjust them, Squirrel fixes them… it’s just something I have to accept😂

Tiny Tortoise Beetle I met today- with perfect little feet for gripping the veins on the back of this passionflower leaf😄

It’s the time of year when all sorts of fancy birds stop by the yard for bug snacks and a drink of water… so, if you’ve got room for a little container pond- they would appreciate it💚

Not sure if it was the increased cat activity in the yard or if it’s just time for some important treetop training… but Mama Squirrel wrapped each of her little ones around her face and carried them up the pine

Around here- if you hear this outside: you shove your feet in boots and grab a super soaker to chase off the neighbor’s cat because you might not have control over much but you can look out for a neighbor in distress

Today was an absolute sh##show of a day, but then I sat down and checked on the Squirrel family… and, honestly, how can I complain when this exists in my backyard:

Did not see a single Monarch Butterfly last year- and thought we might not see any this year… but today one stopped by and left eggs🎉🎉🎉

Frog went for a tiny bug, missed, and almost slid off the edge… so, if you ever see this type of wet spot… it’s polite to just walk on by and not mention it😄 2/2
