Eastern narrowmouth toads, and a few grey tree frogs, were calling from a roadside gutter near my house after a big rain two days ago. Yesterday there were egg masses all over one end of a little pool in the gutter. I believe they are from the Narrowmouth toads. I'm going to try to rear a few--the embryos have already changed a lot.
Update 8/29/09
I had originally thought these were Narrowmouth toads, Gastrophryne carolinensis, but my one transforming tadpole on 8/29/09 is clearly a Gray Treefrog, Hyla chrysoscelis. (This individual, unfortunately, died right as it was transforming, but the species is clear.)
On a sweet dewy morning during dry season, a treefrog sits upon a cabbage palm frond waiting for passing insects. This little cypress swamp has variety of tasty flies and mosquitoes for a lucky frog to sample.
A newer, bigger and cleaner version of my treefrog CP =)
I am also uploading this to provide direct comparison with the previous picture =)
In 2003 my Mom was in a pretty bad car accident. My brother and I drove out to Wisconsin to help her as she was stuck in bed for a long while. To keep myself busy I took up beading. I don't wear much beaded jewelry so I quickly moved onto the bead babies. They may be simpler, but I thought they were so much more fun to make. This was around the time Order Of The Phoenix came out and for a laugh I even made a set of Harry Potter bead babies. heh. I might upload those as well.
