Frog bonanza

Tim and I both managed to find a frog in the exotic water lily pool, amazing because we always hear them but never see them. I thought at first we had photographed the same frog but then realized this one’s mouth was drastically different from the other’s (a few pictures back).

*****

We’ve now been to the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens twice in the past month after keeping away during the worst (or the previous worst) of the pandemic. In addition to them being stunningly beautiful, it’s nice to see so many people there enjoying nature.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Great capture! I can actually hear bullfrogs calling to mark their territory as I'm sitting at my computer.

Reminds me of the Burl Yves’ song about the Duck and Frog sitting the water. As I remember it the Duck and the Frog got away, but the little black bug got eaten by the snake. Snakes always seem to get a bad rap. V
