A late fall surprise. A bit of green still hanging on where warm water emptied into much colder pond. Where there is a will there is a way.

The boys of summer
While it is certain some of the frogs who inhabit the local pond are female frogs just seem to say boys. Maybe it’s all Kermit’s fault but anyway here is just smattering of the photos of our amphibian friends we have collected so far this summer and who can resist one of these fine princes in disguise.
Our last frog count revealed at least a dozen, plus a few toads to boot, so stay tuned for more frog photos before summer gives way to fall.
When frogs sing.
The Sun sets and frogs begin to sing. Wonderful rhythms to end the day.
Along the edge of the pond
Frogs and Toads along the edge of the pond. Us looking at them. Them looking at us.
On that day we walked along the edge and counted eight frogs looking up enjoying an summer day. This little guy was especially curious and we spent a bit of time staring into each others eyes.
Next we came upon this Western Toad looking a bit cranky so just a quick hello and we moved along the edge until we came upon another toad.
This guys was a bit less cranky but still with that full toad personality on display…”leave me alone I’m catching bugs can’t you see. ”
And we weren’t the only ones staring at the wildlife that day as these two little frogs were having quite a stare down upon a small rock.
Happy Friday and perhaps you can spend a bit of time along the edge of a pond this weekend.
Into a Frog’s eyes
Taking a quick trip down memory lane back to a summer day and a little pond not far from home. The frogs were abundant the grass was long and temperature a bit warmer than on this winter day.
Just a moment in time spent seeing the world through a frogs eyes on a calm warm summer day.
Well Hello There
A late fall surprise. A bit of green still hanging on where warm water emptied into much colder pond. Where there is a will there is a way.
Ribbit
Frog in the local pond giving us a look over. He was probably relieved to see we were not one of the Herons hanging out around the shore looking for a meal.
