Thanks,. I really like it when the frogs move in to my pond. I think these are Green Frogs but I am not sure on ID.

I was surprised at how dark he is - almost black. Our frogs around here are almost lime green and very skinny.

The smaller and lighter colored of my two frogs. I was really lucky today that he didn't jump in the pond (which he usually does) before I got this picture.

Amazing frog! Guess I'd have to move somewhere with more rain to have frogs. I haven't even seen toads in years here.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

I wish I had toads here in my garden and I don't know why I don't. But I never see any.

I've only seen one so far this year. That's unusual.

Oh yes, lots of slugs for them to eat and insects that fly over the pond.
