Dark and low is the light
as the frog sings at night.
Somewhere in the distance two frogs dance.
She listens in the moonlight
while he croons to her delight.
The lily pad by chance
is the right size for this dance.
Closer now she's in his sight,
as the frog sings at night.
Together now in a lover's trance
the two enjoy a song and dance.

The curve of a canna leaf serves as the throne for the frog prince of our garden.....
As many of you know, this fellow let me shoot him for almost an hour earlier this year, and I got dozens of great shots of his majesty.
After the frog orgy the other day, only a handful were left looking a bit shattered today!

This super little frog was catching flies in my wildlife pond this afternoon, and was very happy with it's catch!

Cannot resist posting Frog photos.
Belongs in the order Salienta (Tailless amphibians.) I think this is a female. Common Frogs change colour to suit the immediate environment.

An Eastern Banjo Frog photographed just south of Sydney not too long ago on a very wet and cold night.
See other picture for story...I kinda thought the shadow off the frog's head in this one looked like a cartoon mountain.

Osteopilius septentrionalis, the Cuban Tree Frog, is native to the Caribbean Islands and is now a common exotic invader in North, Central, and South Florida. It is very cold sensitive, which should limit its spread north of Florida. It is able to survive in North Florida by living close to buildings in cities and suburbs, or living next to spring runs where the water stays at a constant 70 degrees F year around.
It is the largest tree frog in North America, and will eat the smaller, native species of tree frogs.
He was so sweet to let me come within an inch from his beautiful golden eye with my fully extended antique manual-focus macro lens, hand (and breath) held at 1/50 sec. HBW!
Eurasian Marsh Frog / pelophylax ridibundus. 03/08/18.
'BEING GIVEN THE HEADS UP'.
Each time a frog swallows, it closes its eyes. In doing so, the eyes actually get depressed into their sockets and this aids movement of any food down the throat.
Although frogs are able to swallow food without the assistance of their eyeballs, that would involve an awful lot of swallowing!
So, by depressing one or both eyes simultaneously and using the tongue, food gets effectively pushed towards the stomach. This significantly reduces the amount of swallowing needed, how ingenious is that!
This was the first Marsh Frog I had ever seen and it lived up to all my expectations, and more. It was in the process of eating an insect caught moments before and had just depressed its left eye completely. I only managed to photograph it just as the eye was rising up out of its socket again.
Perhaps, with a stretch of the imagination, it looks as if it is winking?
N.B: This image is dedicated to Mark....
Thanks for the 'heads up'. Here's winking at you! ;-)
