Another frog, this one near the shore of a nearby lake. This spot attracts a lot of small frogs each summer. They blend in so well that I usually stop a while, and listen for a splash or just get lucky and spot one.

FROG THURSDAY (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)
There’s a little pond in a wildlife garden we go to that has several resident leopard frogs. I always check the pond when we first get there and again when we leave. Most times the frogs hardly budge, so I can always take a few more photos.
LEOPARD FROG
Frogs blend into their surroundings so well that unless you see them move or spot one in the open, they are difficult to find. I think the leopard frog is a very good looking frog, and this one sparkled. 😊
FROG ON A LOG
The frog is well camouflaged! A little trade secret – I added a vignette to darken the background and a radial dial to brighten his face, both Lightroom edits. A fine subject, nicely placed, the photo just needed a bit of fine tuning to do this handsome fellow justice.
FROG SPOTTING
While walking through a wildlife garden, I passed by this little pond and saw two leopard frogs, sitting there motionless. Normally, frogs dive for cover when they see me approach but not these two. Lucky for me.
FALL FROGS (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)
The leaves are beginning to change colour but the days are warm and the frogs are still about. With some luck it’ll be a while before they tuck in for the winter and I’ll have more opportunities for photos like these.
LEOPARD FROG
This is one of only a few frogs I’ve seen this summer, a handsome leopard frog. He stayed in the same position for the longest time, I hoped he would move forward a bit so I could get all of him in the shot. I waited for a while and finally gave up and continued my walk. As we were leaving the garden, I checked to see whether he had moved on. He hadn’t budged at all. I guess he was enjoying the day his way!
