The Katydids are growing up...

...but they're never hard to find, because they're always

 hanging out on the prettiest flower in the garden.

Thanks, neighbor!

I have been slowly building a fortress of shrubs to block the view of my neighbor's front yard. Trapped in the sea of 30 year old junipers is an equally old rose that manages every year to peek through to our side of the hedge.

She's probably just finding the rich morning sun, but it sure seems like she's checking us out...
