Find Me Friday

Can you find the barn cat hiding in the daylilies?

If you are new this week, all you have to do is post a photo of whatever you want (within reason of course, keep it clean people! ;-) ) and it has to have some element of "peekaboo," "hiding" or "camouflage" in it. Think of one of those hidden pictures where you have to find the hidden images. Or a green frog blending into the green leaf he is sitting on. There are tons of options! Have fun with it!

If you would like to join in, please make sure to link back to my blog and use my button if you like. If I decide your image(s) is/are inappropriate, I have the right to delete your link. Other than that, have fun and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Oh, and I plan on having weekly themes in the future, but if you don't have a photo that falls into the category, you can still participate. And I don't mind if you add this into another Friday blog carnival. As long as you remember to link to me, that is great! Ok, that's all for now, lets see those photos!

Here is a button for you to use if you would like to participate. Thanks!

This isn't a photo from our farm, but from a local park that I took Jimmy to. There were ducks and geese everywhere, even some swans! So can you spot the goose in this photo? I walked right by it a couple times and didn't even see it! I'm lucky it didn't attack me lol!

I think I am developing a plan ;-)

Our Garden Friend

Our resident toad (well, one of them, hopefully there are more!). He is so cute! I have always loved toads, ever since I was a little girl. I was probably one of the only kids in our neighborhood who wasn't afraid to touch them. Everyone thought they would get warts or something, but not me! I'm not afraid of a little toad pee lol! And believe me, I have been peed on by many a toad. Gross I know, but its really not that bad and its called soap and water afterwards!! ;-) So here is our little bug eating buddy, I even showed him to Jimmy, but he isn't allowed to pick him up yet. Not till he is a bit older and knows not to {{SQUEEZE!}}.
