Sunshine......

It has been overcast and gray the past few days and I have really missed the sunshine!
So, today when the sun came out and the temperature warmed,
I couldn't resist spending the afternoon in the yard.


While snapping a few photos of the Camelias
and Seven Sister roses in bloom......

I spotted this guy!!


I bet one of your little men will know his name.....
or be able to make up a good one!!

This is amazing. We're in the depths of winter here. Are you in winter where you live? Do you have a winter? It's not as if you're on the other side of the world lol

This is not a stick insect, but maybe a leaf insect. lol

Hi Bev...we are in the middle of winter here too. I saw it snow here (North/central Florida) once in the past 20 years! It does get down to freezing some nights..but that is usually in late January or early February.

My husband's barn is actually a real barn...place where he keeps his tractor and hay (we have cows) and he also spends a LOT of time there :)
