08.20.2021 You guessed it…Frog Friday
Bullfrog on a pad…sort of. These guys are always smiling although it often seems a wry smile. I should start bringing a bag of flies with me.
06.16.2021 Lily Pads as Pacman
While at Moosehorn Pond on the same day as the previous water-lily shot, I captured a couple of pads with nice water drops that accumulated during the rain just prior to my arrival. I picked out a couple with some … Continue reading
0-6.12.2021 Saturday Night Soaker
It was raining when I left the house this morning but radar showed it letting up to the north and, sure enough, when I arrived at the pond it had stopped. But the evidence remained. White Water-lily-Nymphaea odorata
06.08.2021 Two for Tuesday
While at the pond the first tiny find was this damselfly. Although very common it was a first sighting for me. Eastern Forktail-Ischnura verticalis female. After shooting this I moved along and found what I thought from a distance to be … Continue reading

07.21.2020 Moosehorn Pond Dragonfly
I haven’t seen many dragonflies this year but admittedly I haven’t looked very hard either. Shame on me. Even this past Sunday morning, after the pink water-lily, I was looking for bullfrogs,which I found, and saw the motion of this … Continue reading
07.20.2020-2 Pink Reflection on Moosehorn Pond
Sunday morning I set out on a mission. I don’t always leave with a preconceived notion of what I am looking for but sometimes I do and this time I did. I’ve had pretty good luck over the years with … Continue reading
07.03.2020 Frog Friday-Hey Bullfrog!
Female Bullfrog two ways. I started a bit farther away and slowly crawled closer until I filled the frame with the 180. Females have tympanums (the round ear drum behind the eye) smaller or about the same size as the … Continue reading
