Hello everyone, I'm back from my long break, and want to thank each and everyone of you for the lovely comments you left on my last post. Pedro is still here and I am enjoying the time we spend together and our birthdays with the rest of the family were celebrated with much gaiety and enthusiasm. We didn't do anything special on other occasions, only a few outings, but it never matters to either of us, as we always have so much to talk about that each day is new and interesting. In the mornings whilst Pedro works and it 's cooler outside, I do my chores and take photos around the garden, and here are a few I managed to capture.
I was sitting in the shade on a low stone wall which surrounds the garden catching my breath after a visit to the orchard to collect a few oranges, when I heard a rustling noise to my right and saw a large Occelated lizard just a few feet away. emerging from it's underground hibernating place. It saw me, and stopped moving, but I knew that if I kept perfectly still, it would eventually scurry away in reptile fashion, as hunger is a great incentive. Only the day before I had seen two large lizards hunting in the front garden.

Dear Sonjia :)
Welcome back! It's good that you had a nice summer with your family.
There are very nice photographs you show today. The Occelated lizard is very nice. Lovely flower pictures. My agapanthus are blooming now too. There is a beautiful blue color on them and your hydrangea.
All the best to you!
Warm greetings from your blog friend in the north.
Really gorgeous garden captures. Very soothing and cooling.
It's great that your days are filled with interesting conversations and that you're enjoying your garden.
Great captures, especially the lizard and frogs. The blossoms are lovely. Welcome back!
Welcome back after your blog break, and what a lovely post this is.
I enjoyed all of your photographs, such a good variety, and to finish with that glorious sunset ... wonderful.
All the best Jan
It’s lovely to hear from you again, and what a wonderful moment with the lizard and other critters
Good to hear from you! I like this series of nature photos, especially the frogs.

Dear Sonjia,
What a wonderful series of flower photos.
I love squirrels.
Have a lovely Wednesday.
Greetings Irma
Great to see you back again, Sonjia, and to learn that you have had an enjoyable summer with your grandson, Pedro. And it’s not over yet. As usual, you have presented us with a fine array of pictures depicting nature in Portugal, beginning with that very handsome lizard. How I envy you the possibility of sitting quietly only to have him come for a visit. The frogs, the flowers are all gorgeous too, and I am glad to see that Wilma is being faithful. I will look forward to your next post with enthusiasm. Hugs and kisses - David
Schön die Bilder von den Blüten und den Tieren.
