green anole
Though not very green at the moment. She's more worried about having her picture taken, than wondering why she's perched on fake fruit.

Trying to blend in with the double knockout roses.

See? We can share. Not!

They escaped the birdhouse too soon. Trying to get some fresh air on the patio.
opossum

screech owl
swallowtail butterfly
kite
These guys soar over us on lazy, sunny, summer days in the pool. They screech occasionally to remind us they're up there.

Oops, he dropped that cherry. Robins love the Cherry Laurel almost as much as the Cedar Wax Wings.
texas spiny lizard
A permanent fixture on our patio.
cedar waxwing feeding frenzy
If you look closely, almost every beak has a berry (cherry) in it.

Look what I can do!
wrens, wrens, everywhere
chickadee / tufted titmouse
hummer
Only room for one at a time on this feeder, and he's claiming his territory. In the rain.

Every summer, a garden spider weaves a big beautiful web across the back of our potting bench. He doesn't miss a thing.

blech.
