Tiny Wildlife!

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 tiny tree frog and a grasshopper are enjoying each other's company on a sunny summer day!
A little closer view of the small wildlife on one of my zinnia flowers.   This flower is about 3 inches across.
A bumblebee was gathering pollen while I was taking pictures.
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!
