I had an unexpected visitor today. I had been in the kitchen, mixing up ingredients for an apple crisp to take to my ladies group tomorrow- I unfortunately forgot to get the apples when I was in town today. DH is working with the youth group and promised to pick up a sack on his way home. In the meantime, I went outside to move my sprinkler from the veg beds to the front garden. I bumped a plant stand on my front porch and heard a very odd *splat*. There at my feet sat a bewildered little tree frog, obviously knocked away from his evening sunbath. I apologized profusely and put him back up on the plant stand. He seemed most grateful.

I have seen some postings here with rather large toads- for an idea of scale I included in this pic the spout of a teapot that is currently filled with caladiums (that white shiney bit is the spout)
I had mentioned somewhere earlier about my waterlily blooming, but couldn't recall the post. So here it is.

It was vying for pride of place on my desktop as wall paper, Sir Frog won this round.

The froggy is adorable, wish we had frogs of any kind.

The waterlily is beautiful. I have a couple of waterlily plants but not blooms yet.

Awww poor little guy but at least his sunbathing wasn't interrupted for long. He's tiny compared to the frogs we get around here and soooo cute!!

Love the water lily - mine are blooming now too and they are always a very welcome sight in the pond.

We love the little tree frogs. They never fail to fascinate.
