National Frog Month


Day 178: It might be best if I don't mention what type of frog I believe this is. I wanted a "poster child" for National Frog Month, and I suppose my model is appropriate in a way since the subject species is out-competing our native frogs everywhere it's found. Still, there's something charming about froggy faces smiling up at you from amid the weeds even when you know that every single one of them is the farthest thing from an enchanted prince as you could ever imagine.

Froggy Business


Day 146: It pains me to think that this amphibian abundance is in truth the newest generation of Rana catesbeiana, the Bullfrog which is invading so many of our water resources, but such is my suspicion. As hard as I tried to get closer, they were alert for even the smallest vibration or sign of movement and quickly disappeared beneath the thick slime which choked the ditch. I've seen adult Bullfrogs here before (Pack Forest), but never in such numbers.
