Just when I thought our poppies had popped their last, these two tiny poppies burst into colour atop their long thin stems. I'm amazed at their delicate little cups.
One of the blue wren fledglings lost its way, long enough for me to catch a photo, before following it's father frantic cheeps into the safely of the plumbago bush.
Little "Friend or Foe?" turned out to be a katydid and kept growing, as did the number of holes in my flower petals.....
A new resident in our yard, a juvenile blue tongue lizard, sure to keep our garden snail free.
Growing between some bricks, I love the delicate curves and the tenacity of this fern. There are several other varieties of ferns performing similar habitat creation amongst the brickwork.
A taste of the extraordinary things happening in our rather ordinary yard over the last week, each of which could have easily been completely overlooked.

Gorgeous post and fantastic shots! Hope you have a lovely weekend! :)
The poppies are beautiful !
So glad the poppies bloomed for you - the color is gorgeous!
And great selective focus in the image of the fern peeping through the cracks in the brick.
You probably had to search a lot to find these animal in the green.

Amazing spring photos. My favorite is the fern - between a rock and a hard place...
You take such wonderful photos. I am almost speechless.
Lovely spring photos, the flowers and the cute baby bird are wonderful sights. Thanks for sharing.
Great shots.
In the first, the reflection on the ruler was very interesting. I liked the color of the flowers.
The third one, I really enjoyed the contrast of the colors of the insect and flower.
Oh W-O-W ! Absolutely exquisite captures in many respects - colour, composition, detail, subject. Just wonderful. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
Terrific captures.

Each one of these photos is a little work of art.
Love those little poppies!!
It is just amazing how many beautiful things are all around us. Those tiny poppies are adorable! What a great photo of that sweet little bird... perfect timing to capture that! :)
I can feel how adventurous you are just by looking at your photos. I just LOVE that top photo of the poppies with the ruler. Nice touch. So gorgeous and sort of abstract too.
Great photos and I love the music. It is so soothing!
Wonderful posts!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Love the shot of the katydid, and that is a very cool lizard to have in your yard!
The magic of our planet, even in the little piece we call our backyard is home to many wonders. This has never been better illustrated than in this wonderful post. Excellent. Thanks for sharing these amazing sights!
;-)WBW!
Pretty little poppies and baby bird. I could do with one of those blue tongue lizards in my garden, the blackbirds do their best but we are still over-run with snails.
Lovely images...
All great photos but the juvenile wren is very special!
Beautiful photos of your garden inhabitants! The little Wren is adorable!
Belle fotografie, quella dei papaveri mi piace moltissimo! un felice week end per Te....ciao
