Frogs on the Brain

One thing about living where we do is that there isn't a week goes by before the male green tree frogs start brapping for his mate. Usually they do this when it is at night and raining but the wet season is a little messed up this year so they are brapping at unusual times, like first thing this morning.

Our tadpole farm is going well and we started a 2nd fish pot. We figured we'd start anew and bought 5 fish, 2 male and 3 female. We also transplanted 5 fish from the other pot. But these new fish don't eat and don't seem to be all that happy, in fact I'd say they're down right depressed. They are like bringing the whole mood of the other fish way down. I'm thinking of putting them all in one pot together and hopefully they'll get the idea that when food goes in the pot it's time to eat as frantically as possible. That's the mood in the old pot and we like it that way.

Where does one find a fish whisperer ?

But we are having great luck with the tadpoles turning into frogs and the other day I got out my old digital SLR that L bought for our wedding and took this picture.

If this picture isn't worthy of National Geographic worthy I don't know what is ? Plus he's cute.

Here is a wanna be National Geographic photographer.

Here is one of the parents. We just found out today that the females are larger than the males, we thought it was the other way around.

Look at this little guy he is fresh from the pond he still has his tail.

They seem to stick around for a few days before the hop off to their future. This guy hung around for a few days.

Well this trip is certainly interesting and this is just in the backyard.
