Porch Toad and Flowers

I just changed the water on the lawn (it’s hot – 91° F with a heat index of 101° F ---- I feel sorry for my poor menfolk who are working out in it!) ... spotted a couple of tall weeds and volunteer trees that needed to be lopped down... and then I had to take pictures of the big fat toad (we'll name him PT – ‘Porch Toad’) that lives on our front porch:  he was all sprawled out in the top of one of the flowerpots.  :-D  I had to leave my camera on the porch in the sun for about 10 minutes while I changed water elsewhere to allow the fog on the lens to clear – you know how your glasses get fogged up if you go from cool air into hot, humid air?  Same thing happens with camera lenses.  Well, by the time I picked up the camera again, the toad had gotten a bit leery of me traipsing around, and sat up a bit, so I didn’t actually get him in that funny stomach-sprawl, legs all splayed out.  But he was still in the flowerpot.  For a couple of shots, anyway.
