From your garden/backyard

[Greg Beetham]

Those healthy, still alive leaves do look very similar so are probably the same. Enjoy them while you can because someday they will be dead, dead, dead and look like mine. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

And thanks DA I was surprised actually.
I think so far the one image I like slightly more each time I see it is the bamboo and wood stack for some reason, all the other shots are great too including Sury’s and Ken’s flowers.

I too like both of them, the second one would be better if it were cropped so that the blue portion is the center
of attention. IMHO.

Thanks, Greg.

No offense to anyone, but Henry has the most interesting back yard so far.
Nice shots all.

If bamboo is a type of grass I wouldn't fancy trying to mow the lawn in Henry's back-yard .

Interesting pictures from everyone. It is fascinating what everyone keeps around their abode.

Well, since I no longer have a backyard, frontyard, sideyard, house, etc. I used the more liberal definition of backyard to mean my vicinity.

Yeah I sortof figured that one out myself Henry, the whole world is your backyard.

Great find Greg - the little fella looks like he's asleep .

[Greg Beetham]

Thanks Birma I thought that one was a little unusual as those are normally bright green, but I think it was trying to emulate the colour on the inside of the steel and blend in, I have heard some frogs can change colour tone a bit but I’ve not seen one do it before to such a degree.

Absolutely fascinating Greg. I agree it is a great find.

With best regards,

Thanks Sury, it’s good to see some frogs about as they are in decline in general, some species have vanished altogether even in my local area, and it’s relatively unpolluted.

Maybe he is hammered.

Love the little frog! Nice image, too

From the garden this week. This little solitary bee cuts little semi circular pieces of leaf to use as cell linings for the larvae.

Great shot Pat. I keep marveling about these creatures creativity, ingenuity and innovation.
May it is natural (for them), and it is my conditioning of thinking that makes me marvel.

With best regards,

Lovely photos and interesting perspectives from the global backyards. : ))

Mine is a minor bit compared to the most genuinely charactered sspecies in some of the photos... especially Greg's frog riding up a steel surface and then residing there for a nap is most unusual. How the frog even thought of taking refuge there is beyod my imagination. Neat one, Greg.

And very neat others of course. Pat always captures great close up that are most inspirational.

Good idea for a thread, Sury. It's a thread one can fill up with images even sitting around lazily when in the backyard as can most interestingly be observed in Henry's Global backyards.

I merely caught a fly with nothing unsual going about it. The common backyard fly it is, from which you'd wish to keep your newly baked cake away!
