Happy Sliders Sunday!
My pink flowers are adapted from a beautiful source image provided by skagitrenee. You can see the original in the first comment box below. This is for Kreative People Treat This 172. The frogs? A big cement statue I photographed in the parking lot of a restaurant. :-)
And for:
Build it and they will come...
We moved house at the end of January, and one of the first things I did was to dig a pond.
I dug it in an area that the previous owner had left as wasteland - two abandoned sheds, lots of dead plants and bits of brick and plastic across the floor. With all that gone it is now my little area of wildlife heaven - the pond is nicely established with lots of plant and insect life, and recently a frog has taken up residence. The first, I hope, of many.
The birdlife is brilliant, from Goldfinches to Woodpeckers and many others in between, as well as fairly regular visits from a Sparrowhawk (I'm still trying to get a photo of it!), and at least three hedgehogs visit every night.
He's either pregnant or just fat. This one wasn't moving for at least 10 minutes before it almost jumped against my lens.

Be happy with the rain, because if you are not happy, it will rain too
Positioned deep within the frame, perfectly splitting the mid-ground and background, the frog is draped in tiny patches of duckweed, camouflaging him into the swampy carpet. In the distance, the scene is framed by weathered, moss-covered logs, adding a rustic texture to the soft, aquatic environment.

I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!
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!)
First frog of the year was this wood frog. Found this one in the same woodland as the Spotted Salamander. If you double click you can see me on my belly taking the shot and my son standing to the left of me in the reflection in it's eye.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
