This is a close-up, from an archive photo. I did not disturb the sleeping snake.
The wetland has filled a bit with some of our October rains. We are happy to have had 92 mm rain so far this month.
I am making progress with my 4 cu. yds. of dirt.
I have to empty the water barrel, but it has put more water into the goldfish pond. The pond has had 5 frogs. Just two were out and about. It's been cool!
Hooper likes nothing better than to sit in his little house, day or night. It is on a timer and heats up overnight. Just 20W., enough to stop him from freezing.
He was sleeping, four paws sticking out the door, and Annabelle walked over and rudely awakened him!

Gotta love Hooper's attachment to his house.
Hello,
The snake and frog are cute. Hooper's home must be very comfy. Wishing you a happy day!
The snake is really stretched out there!
My dad used to call his back yard the "back forty." It was more like a half acre, but he did enjoy it.
Hooper is truly looked after so well, not spoilt, but loved. And Annabelle, why not she says!!! Leaves galore, soon they will all be a carpet on the ground.
It is looking very autumnal there as it is here. I do like to see frogs in the garden but I've not seen any in mine for quite a while.
I know that garter snakes are not dangerous, but when I see one, I leap in fear lol...can't bring myself to touch one!
I couldn't hold a snake like that!
Cute frog and snake ~ nature shots all great!
Happy Day to You,

I see a garter snake once every 5 years or so. We don't have many frogs either.
We don't have any snakes in Hawaii. HOWEVER, someone must have brought a python in illegally because it was in the news that someone ran over one on the road. And it survived!
I haven't seen a garter snake since summer. They must have already gone to their rocky winter homes. - Margy
