Our new friend Benjamin

Sigh.... I really tried to hate him, i did... But he looked up at me from only 2 feet away and the expression on his face was saying "Oh good evening, my name is Benjamin. I'm having sushi for dinner, would you like to join me?" Unfortunately the sushi he was interested in was the fish and frogs in the pond. Linus spotted him & woke me up, he has taken it upon himself to go on guard duty at night. Since Linus was freaking out, I shined the flashlight on him and told him to go away (But then I decided I needed a photo of little Benjamin, so it was kind of good he didn't listen). After getting a photo of Lil' B the peer pressure just got too great, Linus was loosing his mind & I caught a glimpse of a frog looking up at me (in my mind he was asking for help) so I grabbed some pennies and threw them at Benjamin to make him go away. I feel bad now, I know it would be a terrible idea to put some food out for him but he is so adorable!


Here he is hiding under the gnomes, the flash on the camera from the first shot startled him, that shot didn't turn out though. I hope the gnomes didn't mind me taking a photo. You know how gnomes can be...they start doing devious things when angered.

I'm faced with a dilemma, do I let nature take its course & stay out of it? After all the fish in the pond were feeders to begin with. Oh, what to do, what to do.....
