Frogs Galore!

The first few weeks I was getting outside into the garden I just saw one or two frogs, but after that it was as if they'd all returned to the little frogpond.

A friendly frog who didn't even move.

This is the frog pond where all these photos were taken.

Four of them sitting in the sun.

Late in the summer the staff put some floating Water Lettuce plants in the pond, trying to increase the shade for the goldfish.  Water Lettuce is a seriously invasive plant in the southern U.S., not to be confused with the similar Water Hyacinth, but it may not survive winters in Ontario.  I wonder what will happen here, but the frogs love it.

I got a lot more pictures than good ones, but it provided a lot of fun.

  1. They must be used to people in the warm weather.

  4. The frog pond is so well designed, specially for those in wheelchairs, and those lovely stones, not a piece of plastic or liner to be seen. love the one sitting on the leaf, what a great spot for him.

  9. Frogs and turtles, two of my favourite things at our summer place. I'm glad you captured these guys, your pictures all show their peacefulness.

  10. That must be one of the closest close-ups of a frog ever taken! He's not the most handsome fellow I've ever seen but I kind of like him.
