It’s a good week for critters in my garden. Maybe I should start submitting nature photos. Here’s a toad in my pitiful squash patch and a black swallowtail butterfly laying eggs in my celery. #Gardening #BackyardCritters #Toad #Butterfly
And a small knock on the front door was one of our many neighborhood raccoons. I did not answer. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures
Last night’s visitors include a doe and her two fawns. Saw her early on in the season and then not for a long while. Glad to see the little family is doing well. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures
What deer? You may ask. Oh, just this one browsing on my roses like he at a diner. Also browses the buds off mock orange, Clarkia, Gilia, poppies, and fringe cups. So far. Loves the island mallow as well. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures
Fun fungus on an old log. #fungi #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures
A good mom and her precious cotton balls. #spood #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures

Met this beauty hanging out beside the front door this afternoon. She's perched above the #StapeliaGigantea succulent which just started blooming and is attracting flies.

Definitely the most colourful alligator lizard I've met in our backyard. Viss said he's "nubtastic"! 😁💚🧡
