Just Hanging Around

It was a treat to visit Delta Ponds again after a layoff due to surgery. The Great Blue Herons were there in numbers, and some Green Herons too. I also saw some Greater Yellow Legs and even a Mink! The bullfrogs also seemed to be more plentiful. I think they liked hiding in the dark plants growing underwater. This one seems to be saying, 'here's looking at you!'

By the way, the white around its mouth is where its head breaks the water, just in case you wondered. :)

Oh, he posed just perfectly for you, Vern! I love his huge feet. I think he's inviting you in to join him. ;)

Well shot. I'll have to bring a camera to the retirement home where Dad is at. They have quite a few ponds with bullfrogs.

a fascinating encounter...well done too, as frogs can be so skittish and elusive..

I'm not sure how, but somehow this frog has a happy face!

How truly lucky you are being able to see so many birds we do not have here! I'm glad that you've recovered so well. And I love this image! What a great shot! :-) :-) *V*

Great shot, Vern, and great to see you up and about again on your visits to Delta Ponds.
Johnnie Rogers 11-Jul-2015 08:17
That splash of colour works well against the murky water, I like how we can see its hands and feet (if that's what they are called!) ~v~
Helen Betts11-Jul-2015 07:50
Excellent capture in that dim light! Interesting info about the white around its mouth, too.
