That was after he did this, and I as trying to get him to do it again.

Please note that any mention of frog species is speculation.

I’m a bit sad about this one because there were originally three frogs there, but [...]]]> After that whole tree frog thing, and noticing frogs all OVER the place, I decided to take the real camera with a macro lens out to the park.

I’m a bit sad about this one because there were originally three frogs there, but one of them ran off when he saw me. I thought these were pickerel frogs, but the amount and shape of spots are a bit wrong, so I think these are leopard frogs.

Another presumably leopard frog.

I am so amphibious!!!

Now this might be a pickerel frog. The one before too now that I think about it.

I love nature. Especially when it lets me get right up in it’s face. This is Mr. Amphibious from before. And yes I was in that puddle with him.

Another possible pickerel.

This I think is a leopard.

Those were a challenge to take. First of all those guys blend in really well and unless you walk REALLY slowly they run away before you see them. You have to move reeaalllly sllloowwwlly. And then the dog shows up and chases them away. She didn’t eat any of them, but she was really interested in them.

I didn’t have the good camera and the crappy camera was having trouble telling all the greens apart, so I had him climb my hand. As you can tell, he was really really thrilled.

He didn’t like this one because it makes him look fat. [...]]]> Found this guy while walking the dog today.

I know that doesn’t look very painted, but this is what they look like from the bottom:

There are tons of these guys at the park we walk [...]]]> In honour of World Turtle Day, and because I luckily stumbled on him while walking the dog, here is a photo of a painted turtle:

There are tons of these guys at the park we walk at, but they’re usually out on logs in the middle of the lake and they tend to run away as soon as they see the camera. Seriously.

I tried taking the original Gigi’s Birthday photo today but somehow managed to shoot a ton of out of focus pictures. Mrrrrrrrrr. I’m blaming the insane wind.

I was wondering how he got there and then he did this:

Which makes him evidently a tree frog.

I let him climb on my hand and put him outside.

I just realised [...]]]> I just went to let the dog out before bed, and found this guy on the screen door.

I just realised it’s after midnight so I can use him for POTD if I can find him again!

Just to show how small it was, here it is in my hand.
