Green Tree Frog in the greenhouse

August, 2009 - Grasshopper hangin' out on my hanging basket of Hoya curtisii.

July, 2009 - A diamond backed terrapin that a friend rescued from a bad situation - I turned her over to a rescue group so she could lay her eggs before being released. Any babies that hatch from her eggs will be head-started and released as well.

July, 2009 - The terrapin's carapace - she was GORGEOUS, and didn't have a ding one on her...

July, 2009 - Unusual markings on the terrapin's bridge - see the happy face and sad face?

July, 2009 - A baby mocking bird that I saved from the jaws of our basset hound... Poor little thing had NO CLUE how close he/she came to death...

July, 2009 - Baby mocking bird again - I put it in a box on top of the wood pile, and the parents came back and fed it til it was big enough to fly away.

June, 2009 - This doe crossed the street in front of us while driving thru a neighborhood. I told my husband to "STOP!" (the truck) and she STOPPED and posed for this pic!

May, 2009 - Eastern Bluebird male on our telephone wire after a rain shower.
