Frogs and Foxes

I've seen a lot more livestock while driving around than I have wildlife, but my keen-eyed spotter did see a couple of foxes one day.  And our little Spring Peeper visited the deck again.

This was just a friendly little Leopard frog, though he was choosing some rather rough gravel to cross.

Is this frog habitat?!  Apparently it is; works just as well as a tree!

This little guy is the Spring Peeper that's been visiting our deck.  That support pole for the umbrella is  only an inch and a half wide, which gives you some idea of the frog's size.

And yet, if you get a close-up, he looks like quite a monster.

Anyway, he scampered up that pole without hesitating, the sticky pads on his feet working just fine on the metal pole.  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it.

The foxes, two of them, were in an old pasture, and Mrs. F.G. just caught a flash of something orange.  We watched and waited.

One of those day when I forgot the binoculars of course, but it was neat to see them.
