On my walk yesterday I came across lots of frogs in a small stream. There were adult ones and plenty of froglets, many sunbathing under the watchful eye of the bigger frogs.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment or fave. I really appreciate it.

The Mudna House had been completely covered in thick mud. You could tell that it had been scraped and shoveled out. Some parts still had some died mud remains like this bathroom sink
I've gone back to last year, about the same time of year in the same area to finish off those shots before starting more into this year's trip.
And it looks like I'm a serial wasp stalker! I was under the shade of a Coolabah Tree at Combo Waterhole having a rest from the midday heat when I noticed these wasps mud mining on a little mud island in the waterhole.
They use the mud to build shelters for their pupa to hatch. All these wasps would be building individual nests but they are quite friendly as a group and many of them were digging their mud balls out of the same hole with up to 3 wasps head down and bum up at times.
The top wasp is making off with its ball of mud while the others are returning for refills. They were fascinating to watch.
Bombay Hook NWR. Saw 4 of them at various spots along the driving route sitting in the middle of the road in addition to several painted turtles doing the same.
This probably as the last time I went shooting with my white sneakers... It took me several washes to clean all the mud.. They almost got ruined with this adventure ...
I really need to get a pair of boots on the car for this special moments..
lol
I'm sick! :D

Even this old door lock was still coated in dry mud that has been leftover from the Great Brisbane Flood of early 2011

This is an image of the mud men tribe from Papua New Guinea. The legend goes that many years ago these men where running from their enemy who was trying to kill them. As they ran down a hill they all fell into a huge mud pit. When they climbed got out of the mud they were covered from head to toe. As their enemy came over the hill and saw them they thought they were ghosts and they ran away. After that experience the tribe decided to keep the mud on and add the mask. They were one of my favorite tribes!
May 2009, Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone is such a dream place for photographers. Besides beautiful landscapes, geysers and wildlife, this small mud pool brought us a lot of fun. At each spot, there was a burst coming every few seconds. Not only it was challenging to catch the mud burst, every burst is different and could surprise you!
