Camouflage

Sitting on my covered porch, I just happened to notice this little guy on a camellia about 3 ft behind the glider where I am. He stayed just long enough for me to reach my phone and get one shot.

noticing that they were setting buds.

I've seen this little guy--or his friend --running along the fence or climbing the drain pipes. So my eye is accustomed to spotting him.

Couldn't see him at all. So I scrolled down to read the replies, then scrolled back up for another look. And *POOF* there he was! It was as if he'd been hiding before and then decided to come back out.

Cute little critter, nice shot.
