I have found a more sturdy float. Excellent.
While Cave Frog still makes it sink and flood a bit, on this day the lily pad he chose to sit on had stronger support so he’s a bit higher up. I have no idea if that helps his hunting, but he looked more stable.
Can’t a frog get a little rest without a camera being brought out?
Although the legs are underneath of this frog, I’m fairly certain this is Eyeballs – only because Cave Frog rarely hangs out by these plants. I really like the reflection of the iris leaves over the back of let’s-assume-it’s-Eyeballs.
Eeeek! Peeping Tom!
I had almost decided that Uptown had moved out – but I crept up from behind the boulder where he hides and spotted his snout! So I quietly got the camera, never thinking he would actually stay still while I got in position. The angle was awkward and this was the only one from which I could see him – all others were blocked by the plant. Guess this guy’s the introvert of the frogs.
I never call, I never write…
Hard to believe how long ago we finally admitted Brave Frog had moved on. It’s a good thing I took a lot of photos of him while I had the chance!
Errrrr.
I can’t look at this without giggling. Cave Frog (sitting on a slightly submerged lily pad) reminds me so much of those frogs on the commercials for Budweiser. Terrible beer, but funny commercials.
I don’t need a lily pad to float – I’m a masterful floater.
I can always tell it’s Eyeballs when he is floating and has his legs out behind him. Cave Frog prefers to have his legs underneath him – presumably ready to hop. Eyeballs has a different approach.
I think something is wrong with my float.
Cave Frog likes to be all the way out on the lily pads – but he weighs them down a bit and gets a little flooded. He seems okay with it, though.
I’m Cave Frog, no matter where I sit.
It’s a good thing Cave Frog already had a name by the time he started sitting in the plant pots all the time. I’d hate to have named him Potted Frog.
it’s pretty easy being green, actually.
Eyeballs has some seriously good camouflage happening here. I was rather amazed he let me take this photo – because we were out by the pond when he popped into view and I didn’t have my camera. My husband got up and walked slowly to the house and retrieved it, and I set the tripod on the coffee table to get the shot. Why he didn’t move or get startled through all of that I have no idea, but I’m pleased with the result.
Lily pads sometimes are precarious perches.
I spotted Cave Frog on this lily pad near the skimmer – and I got one shot. He then slipped backwards into the water and swam away. I assume the slipping was on purpose, but I’m not entirely sure. Nonetheless, I’m happy that the one shot I managed turned out.
