They just kind of sit there like they've been glopped off a stew ladle, don't they?

Ive seen some frogs & toads here, well I think its a toad ? Smile

Sitting right in the middle of the road, you know full well the poor thing is going to get squished by a car. I brave it now, I put my hand in a poo bag ( as its on a dog walk I see them ) & pick them up that way, then donk it in a decent garden away from the road.

{{I was somewhat concerned Az that the frog was one of yours! You can never be too sure with witches, and when they are trying to use a frog for a sneaky peek up your kilt! Suspect

This one first snap should appeal to your witchy sensibilities though, (and no its not up my kilt though I might get one fitted to ward off evil - wonder if it works for evil smells cause Ive got a few of those

) the gargoyle on the Burgh Hall in town }}

My little warty boys are hiding under the shrubbery keeping an eye out. I saw these pics on facebook & 1st thought was seeing you, ( in my mind ), scaling the side of some stony craggy Cathedral just to get that shot of the Gargoyle Smile

Then tip-toeing amongst the bodies of dead seagulls & other wildlife that had the audacity to look up as Kilt was wildly flying in the breeze

That particular example is called a grotesque, gargoyles are the ones that catch and drain water from roof gutterings. Smile

That's why pigeons only land on the grotesques, as anything with it's mouth wide open is not something you want to land if you're a pigeon Very Happy

I stand corrected Smile

Red, red, bloody red. Where's a nice green sunrise when you want it?

Battled with rearranging some furniture in son's room while tripping over toys, got annoyed and went outside to cool down. Now I don't want to go back in.

~~Seems this got a bit big, but too lazy to fix.~~

Fixed it anyway. This totally counts as procrastination btw.

Crocs in the winter? Those must be some epic socks.

Ha, I missed that. That does not look like spring.

{{ My nightshift world!

Caught a moonbow in this one, wasn't sure it would show up at all and it doesn't quite capture it as well as the naked eye did sadly, but you get the idea at least }}
