Part 1: Natures best compliment
After three years of toiling to get a lush green biodiverse garden created on my residential infill lot, I was standing back looking around and out from my rock wall peeked such a lovely site…A little frog. We are not near water nor do I have a pond on my property. We have since received several visits from frogs in our garden…Not a common site here anymore. This to me was the best compliment I could have received; I created a habitat safe enough for a little frog to make hi...
Part 2: My First Garden Friend
When we moved into our new home I quickly realized that we may have bought this land but we were not the owners. I had plunked my house in natures habitat. This is why it is important to me to have a natural habitat for the critters that called this place home before I invaded.

She leaned in close and wispered a chant to the ...
Part 4: Spider webs and fuzzy critter
Early morning due allows me to get some nice shots of the amazing craftsmenship of the spiders web…The spiders must have retreated to dryer ground: I’m not sure who this cute creature is but he has been nibbling away at some of my Lady’s Mantle:
Part 5: 2009 rabbit
We protected the entire perimeter of our veggie garden with chicken wire this year so that the rabbits would know their boundaries. My clover lawn is like sweet candy for them and this I am happy to share. While gathering some supper veggies I noticed a small ball of fur and first reaction to the tiny brown mass was RAT! I approached and found this sweet little face looking up from the romaine lettuce with a look that said “but…I only ate just one”...After two shots (wit...
