A grumpy looking American Toad (Bufo americanus) is looking out at you from this apron. This small amphibian is brown with black, gold olive green and orange coloration. His warts distinguish him from his frog neighbors. Although hatched in the water of ponds, rivers, lakes or streams, the tadpoles soon move to land where the toads live their adult lives. His startling call is a long screech. He looks quite fierce but is actually a gentle little guy who eat lots of garden pests including insects and slugs. The text reads: Back off! It can be customized or removed.



My garden is a universe of light, color and movement. The flowers and vegetables shine with beauty...and the little animals amaze me with their infinite variations of shape, form and action. I have tried to capture these lovely little beings with my photography and have compiled the best for this 2013 calendar. I hope you will join me in the marvelous land of the giant swallowtail, hoverfly, tiger swallowtail, damselfly, cranefly, least skipper butterfly, grasshopper, Aphrodite fritillary butterfly, polyphemus moth, honeybee, ruby meadowhawk dragonfly and bush katydid nymph.

Falling snowflakes set the scene as this handsome wolf takes time to rest a while in the snow. Beautiful wildlife scene on wrapped canvas.
