Thanks. That pond is really an oval stocktank that has been sunk in ground and surrounded by rocks so that it looks like it belongs there. The frogs sit on the rock at the waters edge. Usually on opposite sides! But they jump in as soon as I get near. But I do see them everyday, saw them yesterday too.

I am glad to have them there as I figgure they eat up the mosquotoes. The feeder fish eat up any mosquoto larva but I am sure the frogs get adults visiting to lay eggs.

It is rainey today so I was able to sneak up on the frog and get pictures. Pond views and frog views. I have two frogs but was lucky that even one did not jump in as I came around.

It's all the same frog in all the pictures. The other one is hiding in the pond. Hilarious!

I think my frog is getting used to me. Most of the time it lets me walk by without jumping into the pond.

I have two frogs. The smaller one is a scardy cat. It jumps if I get anywhere near.
