I love walking through my garden, but when I stop and bend down, I see so much more! I have so many active friends that work and play in my garden. Let me introduce some of them to you.
My sunbirds are back and enjoying the Pineapple Sage bush – they frequent this bush, so my next photograph shoot will hopefully catch the splendid male.
Lots of Praying Mantis, I am happy to say.
This is an unusually looking one!
My bees are always welcome – we need to be kind to the bees!
My favourite of all – the chameleon!! Fat and happy – I think she is pregnant! What do you think?
This sign keeps reminding me of my best friend who shares my garden with me and cares when I least feel like it and always gives me an encouraging word. AND the happy trips to the nursery – thanks my buddy!
Happy Gardening xxxx

The chameleon is just astonishing. What a beautiful creature. So that is the size that pineapple sage should grow to? Mine is a healthy looking specimen but could never be described as a bush and I have to renew it from cuttings every year!
Now that’s someone I’ll never see in our garden, a Chameleon! How fun! He’s wonderfully colorful. We do have lots of lizards zipping about in our new garden though, and hopefully we’ll see a few more of those. That pineapple sage looks absolutely amazing!
I didn’t realise the pineapple sage would grow so big. I put mine in a pot … should I plant it out?
PS: Love the chameleon photo!
I love my bush and the sunbirds just love it too!! I think it will do nice in a pot. It gets leggy though, so I think I should have placed it in a more sunny area.
Ooooh, you must stop posting chameleon photos. They make me feel like my garden is missing something reptilian.
No, don’t stop — they’re amazing! 🙂
Oh yes – me too! And by the way, she WAS pregnant – today, she is thinner and I have spotted 2 baby chameleons – I wonder how many they can have.
Great post. I especially like the chameleon. We don’t have them here in Michigan. I haven’t seen a praying mantis is years.
Such a favourite in our garden. The potato bush is an ideal home because it is so dense, but the fiskal shrike lurks,…..
The is amazing, you were very sharp eyed to see him, oops her. Funny I always think of the lizards in my garden as male, I wonder why. Christina
Funny – I also think my chameleons are female – and I was right, she had babies!! 🙂 but there must be a male too!
