Yesterday (I think) I mentioned to one of my favorite Agnostics that I hadn't seen any garter snakes in our garden beds for awhile. So, naturally, this morning I'm looking over things with some coffee and find this fellow in the butterfly habitat area.

There don't quite look like yours, ours are either 5 stripe or 7; the 7 stripe have both red and gold stripes.

I have one hanging around my garden pond, he keeps getting bigger, the number of frogs keeps getting smaller.

Just make sure he doesn't get too big.
If he starts looking at you a lot... beware.
Looks like it had a recent meal...?

I didn't ask him... looked like more than a cricket though. Maybe I should check with the neighbors behind me and see if they're missing a child.
@bigpawbullets Silly...
No garden is complete without one.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
