spotted recently:
a gulf fritillary, like royalty, in my little garden
a woodpecker at work on a nearby tree
a neon green lizard, resting in the shade of lettuce leaves
a young praying mantis wobbling her way up the back door
a large swooping owl, black snake dangling from his mouth (not kidding)
two deer, sprinting from the road to the woods behind our house
three rabbits, white cottontails and all, along the back edges of the yard
three bats, looping and diving for mosquitos at dusk
more lightning bugs than I could ever count
