our garden guest

Sarah was in the house talking on the phone and spotted this guy on our back fence. He was pretty nervous about the doves on the phone lines overhead, so I couldn't get close enough for a close up. I'm guessing that trait is how he ended up so big. My six-year-old self would have killed to have had one of these in our back yard. And by 'killed,' I mean, 'would have caught and put in a fish tank, attempted to have fed crickets and spiders to, and would have literally killed, due to not knowing how to care for.'
