Rainy Day Observations

June 17, 2024 Elizabeth

Steve spotted this toad out in the heavy rain and was able to video him hopping along the flower bed. He thought he was going to go in under the porch, but he seemed content to just hang out and hop around in the rain.

Also took a couple pictures of some flowers. The blue one – I thought was a Bee Balm, but Google Lens says it is a Cornflower. The white one, these are small flowers. Google Lens says it’s digitalis, foxglove, but these are far too small I think. What do you think they are? They are beautiful! I’m not positive what they are.
