Stepping out

Thanks to the scaffolding up one end of the house I was able to catch Fred from an elevated angle. 

The extra shot is of a moth whose disguise is second to none, the Buff-tip. Its mimicry of a piece of broken twig is uncanny. It puts me in mind of a very short pencil stub. If the image had been sharper it would have been a blip but you can see someone else's much better shot here.
