A large frog with prominent stripes going over its eye and down its back. It is clinging onto a smooth stone, its toes are spread out across the stone. It has prominent gold and black eyes and speckled legs and body.

Always a welcome visitor in the garden. This frog was pretending to be another stone in my garden, doing its best not to get noticed #LentoAdvent

Hillside bathed in golden autumn sunset light - a grassy path stretches straight ahead and a few sheep graze. Bare branches frame the top of the pic. Misty fields and lines of trees in the distance.

Maybe I didn't get out much this autumn, but I think the place that has given me most autumnal joy has been my garden! Even though it's been a bit of a mess lately, the hawthorn, the cotinus and the cornus can't be beat for colour ๐Ÿ˜„ #LentoAdvent
