After the rains - another unworldly being appears in my garden in Schertz - Cibolo, Texas

Yesterday, the downpours in the San Antonio area finally stopped. In a few weeks, we went from being on the verge of Stage 3 drought restrictions to having an overflowing pool and a leaking roof.

When the sun came out, I surveyed our yard to see if any more visitors had arrived, taking advantage of the cover of rain. I found this one hiding under the ginger, and quite a fetching color:

I checked on the status of our visitor who arrived a few days ago. It is even taller now.

When I angled up to view it from overhead, I suddenly noticed a strange pattern emerging, a sort of face, if you will.

Now that the sun is forecast to stay out and we're apparently back to summer weather, the odd beings will probably be going back to wherever they came from. It must be a wondrous place.
