Wisteria and Lizards

A green lizard came to visit us on St. Patrick's Day. I wonder if he's lucky?

My phantom neighbors planted wisteria at some point in the distant past. It has come up under and over our fence.

It's so beautiful to look at while I'm doing the dishes.
I wish the blooms lasted longer.
