Nice to see your little mascots sunning themselves. It would be nice to see some skittering around my garden but there are too many dogs around the neighbors yards I don't think they'd stand a chance.

Great plants as always!

Nice plants and flowers!

Cool lizards.

Glad you all enjoyed them.
John the lizard population really went nuts after we had to get rid of our cat. She(the cat)didnt play well with the my son when he was very young and well, she didnt play well with anyone else either. So it was a pretty easy decision.

Is that yellow on the petals, just a reflection of the pollen? Nice lighting on these. I'm assuming it is early morning.

Yes Daiv, they had yellow down the center of the inside petals, pics were taken in full sun in the late afternoon.

I went back and looked at images of last years flowers and they just had a touch of yellow, barely noticeable.
