This frog was about the size of my fist and was on the main steps to the cafeteria one morning as I was preparing to water and weed the flower beds. I missed a good picture at Sara's one morning as I reached to remove a "rock" with 2 slugs on it from a potted chive plant. WHOA!! It was a FROG that was using the greenery as a hiding place. Other than a little twitch as I reached to about 2 inches from his "face" he never moved!! I don't have a picture of a snail that is also bigger than a large fist that was often by the front gate. We saw it about 4am on the morning we were leaving to go to Belo for my return trip home. It was drizzling and we were in a hurry to get started, so no photo. Don't know if I could have found the camera, anyhow. The trip to Belo was not much fun for the first two hours, as it was misting, raining, and foggy. That was bad enough as on coming lights blinded everyone and to make matters worse, the road had just been repaved and there was no center line or white line for the edges. Yes, we did travel quite slowly for the beginning of the trip. As day break arrived the conditions got better and we were able to make up some time.
I'm sure this hummer has an official name, but I call it the split tail. He was so skittish by the feeder that the only shot worth keeping was this siloette on the power line. He is about twice the size of the typical hummer. Sara did not have her feeders up, as they attract ants and she didn't want the boys playing in the sugar and ant stuff on her patio/veranda. These shots were at a neighbors house.
These "blues" were among the most common and three to six would be around a feeder much like at Grandma Joy's. I have a picture of the "greens" but can't find it in my mass of photos.
