Default Natures Camouflage

Have been tidying the back garden all day and right at the last moment caught sight of this little fella hoping about under the bushes. Amazing really as we could not be more land locked if we tried. Just love to see them in the garden and their camouflage is so good I nearly missed the chance of taking his photo. Hope you like it, it's been such a lovely day here.

Razor sharp detail David. Excellent capture. They just seem to appear everywhere don't they?

Hi dear friend, thanks for the kind comments, still waiting to hear about the job, hoping no news is good news eh. Glad you like my little friend, I love having them in the garden, keeps the pests off some of the flowers.

Thanks for all the kind comments, he is quite a photgenic little fella and no I decided not to kiss him/her not sure what to do with a prince or princess? lol.
