Alice the holding ponds in Florida are designed to catch water that street drains cannot handle thru hurricanes and the monsoon season. They also attract alligators and many beautiful birds in the region.
psa we have a river near by . Many areas that are restricted to have mosquito fish is a concern that a flood could wash the mosquito fish out of private ponds into the water ways. Wa. & Or. are especially protective of trout and salmon in rivers and streams.
The frog is just like mine a permanent resident , as is the beautiful dragon fly.
nice pics
The tree frogs are about to start up , tiny but loud.
