The roses are gorgeous! My mother had a lot of roses in the garden when I was growing up, but we’ve only a few here.

  I’m loving the climate here because things seem to thrive. It was too hot in San Antonio for my roses. The heat stressed them out.

Very red, very beautiful. I didn’t know skinks came in red.

Wow, that is an incredible photo of the skink! I love it! And the roses…. amazing — it’s going to be a while before we have those here in Maine!

  I know. Whenever we drive up to see our boys in Boston, we notice we are about a month ahead of you.

    and Boston is about a week ahead of us… our lilacs haven’t opened, apple blossoms are just opening, and trees aren’t even fully leafed out!

Great Red choices. Your male skink is so handsome. Your roses are beautiful. That octopus looks like it’d be great fun on the beach. 🙂

  Thanks for your comments. I didn’t even know that was a male skink, but from your comment I gather that the female is rather drab?

    Your welcome. Female skink are lovely blue striped. They’re one of the few critters where the female has the brighter more ornate colors. We like having the skink around. They’re fun to watch and we think they help with pest control. 🙂

    I had never seen one before and had to go to the Internet to find out what it was. I’d love to see the female. Haven’t seen my red-faced one again but hoping he returns.

Love the flowers, sorry but hated the snake. Was it poisonous? I thought a snake with red might me posionous. Great pics.

  Actually, it isn’t a snake. I should have shown the rest of its body. It’s actually a type of lizard, and no, it’s not poisonous. They’re usually arboreal; I don’t know what it was doing in my garden. It was a pleasant surprise.
