A trip to a natural and geological reserve, the Liehter Kalkgrube. An old pit in which lime and salt were broken down. Some years ago, the mine have been shut down and given back to nature. A small stream and a pond is there to find, goats are held there for landscaping, and we saw a lot of dragonflies, butterflies and other small animals as well as beautiful wild flowers. In the earler summer, wild orchids are blooming there. It is an absolutely silent place, wonderful to be there.

A frog in the pond on our pasture. I don't know what kind of frog it is. But Pelophylax kl. esculentus (common water frog/ green frog/ edible frog) would be my educated guess. He (or she) might be edible, but we won't eat him.
Most mornings this spring, as I welcomed the sun from the blind at Brick Pond I was serenaded by the deep, resonating "rooom-rooom-rooom" sound of bullfrogs as they signaled to their mates. More often heard than seen, a few times I had scanned the water in front of the blind but previously hadn't located the culprit. On this overcast Saturday morning I had been looking further out when I noted a suspicious bump in the water nearby. Using my lens to pull me closer I peered out to find an eye glancing back at me. Shortly after I found a second, hiding in the reeds. Bullfrogs have eyes situated on the tops of their heads, allowing them to remain inconspicuous under water as they watch out for threats.
He's either pregnant or just fat. This one wasn't moving for at least 10 minutes before it almost jumped against my lens.

Striped Rocket Frog (Litoria nasuta)
Found this little guy indoors on a potted plant, which likely explains why he was sitting in a water conservation position; air conditioning and frogs do not mix well.
-I put some black card behind the plant to remove as much distraction as possible; and while reasonably dark (look at the frogs pupils) this wasn't actually night (MY SECRETS REVEALED!)
I spotted this little guy resting on a Milkweed leaf on my morning walk through Black Hawk Park.
I'm not sure what type of Tree Frog this is but he was little. Probably about an inch long. He didn't seemed to be bothered by me taking his picture.
Green and beautiful, this frog took no notice as its photo was taken from multiple angles. When talent scouts come cruising, the least one can do is pose and give your best Mona Lisa smile, fame is incidental to a frog so friendly and fabulous.

A couple more from the frogs. They've all cleared off from the pond now, but lots of frogspawn which is good to see...
I can't believe how long it has been that I have been around but it has been a very crazy last few month and I'm sure a lot of you out there will agree with me!!!
I hope everybody is well. I'll will try to make my way around and check out what you have been posting.
Take care and stay safe!
The green tree frogs have been plenty around here this year. This guy was sitting on our front-door ;-)
Shore Acres State Park on the Oregon coast at Coos Bay features a garden with abundent flowers in the spring and summer. This time of year they usually feature holiday lights with some 300,000 LED lights and creative lighting displays. It is cancelled for 2021 so I put up one of my older images. Some of the lights are action figures such as this frog jumping and landing with a splash.

Exceptional lights and times are always to be had, this time around coming November 24 to December 31 at the Coos Bay-area park. The 2022 version of the colorful holiday favorite comes with something new: a timed entry system for visitors to park their vehicles from 4 p.m to 9 p.m.
