A Drop or Two of Rain

It's a good thing yesterday's short sharp shower

In the Rockery

While I was having a weeding session in the overgrown rockery I spotted some of the wildlife sheltering there. First a large frog leapt out. Next was a daytime flying moth.

Even while it was in one place feeding its wings never stopped moving which made it difficult to make out any markings.

The find I most liked was:



A young toad.
