Leonard, Lizzie and the Longwing



Leonard watched Lizzie while the Zebra Long-wing laid eggs on the passion plant.
I almost called this post "Action On the backyard Fence"


Spring is Sprung.... baby lizards are on the way and lots of butterflies... woo hoo

  5. What beautiful photos. I like to chase lizards. I don't see to many but when I do, look out. And no, MOM does not have any of her metal art left. She says it was WAY back when she was in high school and she has no idea where any of it is any more. If it was recycled by now maybe it's a beer can.
    Blessings,

  29. There certainly is a lot of action at your backyard fence. Just remember that I thought this blog is rated 'family friendly'.

  30. Spring finally came to our neck of the woods, too. Had some serious flooding all around a week or two ago...some roads were closed. Down south of us about 20-30 miles they had some trouble with levees.
