Kochia <Before>; when it was still green and small

Lovely colour. Is that a Stag Beetle at the bottom of the photo?

Lovely effect it gives but does remind me of cousin IT from the Adams family. lol

Shirley:
Yes, that's a little stag beetle.

I had to google "Cousin Itt." lol
For me, it reminds me of a green character lives in a bin from "Sesame Street."

Thanks Tommymoo ..... Stag Beetles appear in my garden at times.

Lol I gather that's Oscar the Grouch😊
