I know I have written several posts recently, but I just had to share with you a photo of what I saw this afternoon! While watering my zinnias I caught these two tiny critters basking in the sun together! I think the grasshopper is too large a meal for the tiny frog, and I know grasshoppers don't eat frogs, so I think these two "buddies" are compatible. They seemed to enjoy each other's company. I ran to get my trusty camera and take a few pictures. I also saw many bumble bees on the flowers, and even our own honey bees. I tried to get a picture of the honeybees, but they were too quick for me. Check out these photos - my zinnias have a 'purpose'!

A little closer view of the small wildlife on one of my zinnia flowers. This flower is about 3 inches across. |

It just goes to show you that a person has to take time to really look at surroundings. Otherwise little scenes like this are missed! What a privilege to have seen this tiny slice of life on a fine summer's day!
