Was out for a smoke and was about to let my dog out when I spotted this little guy hunting, I took these pictures and just sat for a while and watched him. He froze for a second and then continued his hunt and seemed unfazed by my presence. I left a plate out with some water, since its been so dry recently and let my dog out the front instead so he didn't scare him off.

I only moved here a few months ago and according to my neighbour there are a few of them that visit every summer. So from now on I will be checking on a night before I let my dog out so I don't disturb them and keeping water out too.

I wanted to get some potted plants and add some colour and personality to this space i have at the back of my house. Ngl i have a terrible track record with keeping potted plants alive in the past but it has been a long time since I've tried. It gets sun in the morning but no direct sunlight in the afternoon. I do have a dog as well so don't want anything that would be toxic to him. Any advice on what would do well in this space, and isn't too difficult for a novice ?
