... of this little saw-whet owl that a homeowner reported in his back yard right here in town. It was a great opportunity to get some photos!

I had a few White's tree frogs as pets several years ago, when they sat all scrunched up like the frogs in the photos, they were as big as the palm of my hand, and I fed them grasshoppers, large crickets and the occasional newborn mouse. I also had Red-eyed tree frogs, in a big vivarium with a little waterfall and live plants, and misted them with water several times a day. They were pretty cool. Karen

Hello Gardengal, Nckvilledudes, Buyorsell and everyone. I loved the Yukiokoshi. It is a stunner. I really admire the petal formation. Since we're sharing... I just came back from picking up two more Clems that I have been wanting for quite a while. I bought Josephine (evijohill) and Arctic Queen (Evitwo)! I am very excited about these new additions. I will be clearing out some japanese iris to make room for them on the trellis. I love the fall sales, they were marked down 30%. I was very pleasantly surprised to find them at my local nursery. I was just getting ready to make the leap and order online.

Vala, those are really pretty! My mom used to make crocheted roses. She gave us (her daughters) bouquets of long stemmed red roses, and also birthday cakes (totally crocheted and life size) with roses on top. I'll have to get a photo and post it one of these days. I have two of the birthday cakes on the settee in our downstairs office.

Beautiful photos! Pictures are looking even better since I had to have to get a new motherboard for this desktop and it's got better onboard video. :)

And what a cute little owl. Did the home-owner allow you to come over and get photos? How did you find out about it? (I am curious, only if it's not TMI.)

I heard about it on our local birding email list. The homeowner was very generous in letting people come over and see it. For many people it was a life bird. They're usually hard to see because of their small size and because they aren't often seen out in the open. So it was fun to get this opportunity very close to home. Now if only it would fly a few miles to my house so I could get a cool new yard bird!
