backyard attractions

   I took a couple of pictures of Benjamin out in the yard this morning along with a few other bits of fauna.
feet!
 
I found the biggest live spider I've ever personally seen (outside of a zoo) near my backyard water faucet recently. It's probably almost four inches at its longest point and very pretty... and creepy. 



Yesterday I also noticed that our local toads finally got busy and made some tadpoles (they didn't have any babies all spring or summer this year!). In any case, it'll be fun to watch the tiny toads emerge in a few weeks. When they come out of the pond they're only about a centimeter in length, and very cute.
