I found this little guy wandering about outside. He’s probably waiting for the rain promised by the thunderstorm just North of us.

Small Snake Relocated from the Garage
This little guy was found huddling against the inside of the garage door last night. We tried to convince him to go out on his own, but he was having none of it.
I guess I don’t blame him, the nights have been getting rather cool lately and I’m sure the garage was much warmer than it was outside. But it’s not safe for him to stay in there, so we resorted to carefully picking him up and relocating him elsewhere.
This photo is of Angela gently carying him across the yard. A lot easier said than done as he was in constant motion the entire time.
Lacewing Critter on the Wall
I’m not sure what this guy is, but it caught my eye. Hopefully it’s not a bad bug.
Spiny Lizard in our Wandering Jew
Went out onto the back porch to water the plants tonight and found this guy hanging out in the pot of Wandering Jew. He may not look it here, but he is not small. His body, tip of his nose to his hind legs, is about as long as my hand, finger tips to wrist. Even so, I didn’t see him until I started putting water into the pot. I’m not sure he appreciated the bath.

Granddady Mantis in our Front Yard
As mantis’ around here go, this guy was huge! He was about four inches long. Even so, it was difficult to get a good picture of him because he kept swiveling his head around to keep an eye on me and was lightly swaying in a non-existent breeze.

Double Rainbow on Drive Home
Saw this double rainbow today while on my way back home from running errands. The picture doesn’t do it justice. Every time I looked at it, it was even brighter than the time before — this, from the color-blind guy. I’m sure it looks even better to you.

Don’t freak out, but scientists think octopuses ‘might be aliens’ after DNA study
“Not to send you into a meltdown or anything but octopuses are basically ‘aliens’ – according to scientists. Researchers have found a new map of the octopus genetic code that is so strange that it could be actually be an “alien”…. ” (go to link)
