Often find #frogs in the water reservoir on top of my Greenstalk planter. This one had its own surfboard, Cowabunga dude.

Friday was the Vernal Equinox and as if on cue, this cottontail swamp #rabbit made an appearance in our backyard that morning. I take it as a harbinger of #spring. It’s squeezing in through a gap under the fence to eat the dried corn that the squirrels drop. I usually leave the naming of wild animal visitors (if we must) to others in this household, but they suggested Bugsy. I prefer BOB as in Big Ol’ Bunny.
Still not many #butterflies around but there’s been a bit of uptick in activity the past week. This was the first gulf fritillary I’ve seen making a stop in the front #garden, spent a little time with the mealy blue sage before flittering on.

The Volcano, The Elf Rock And The Rainbow
On a clear day such as this one in late October the view from Dyrhólaey is astonishing.
In the distance is Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano which disrupted air traffic for a week in 2010.
The steep-sided mountain is Pétursey; good elves live on one side and evil elves are on the other. Be quiet and respectful near their home and they will leave you in peace.
And the rainbow? Just serendipity!

Pennsylvania has their groundhog for winter weather prognostication, in SE TX for summer weather prediction we have #squirrels. This one’s pooped out posture tells me that the cooler autumn weather relief is still at least 6 weeks away. 🥵
