The collection would not be completely without:

I actually thought that my neighbour had placed a plastic frog down by the water as a practical joke.

Noooo!

This bull frog is the real deal.

Ha-ha. As soon as I saw the water-lily, I immediately thought about the frog and now you have it. Thank you very beautiful photos. I have not seen such frogs many times, they do not live with us.

I’m happy that I could show you something you don’t get to see very often @magnata!

This one is prehistoric looking.

You wouldn't want the pink to my old jalopy lol...but I'd race anyway! Looks nice and peaceful down by the pond.

Lol! @tamaralovelace!
Omg! Thanks for knowing what pinks are. ;D

Wow..It didn't dawn on me that most people wouldn't know what pinks are lol.

All that green looks so inviting from the desert!

Glad I could show you some lusciousness @dajohns1520

beautiful lotus flower with center yellow and around white, frog jumps the best as it can do the best!

Thanks @sheikh27! This frog has been startling me every day for the last month. He likes to hang out right at the shoreline and he’ll wait until you get very close before he jumps and makes a huge splash. I think it’s a game...can I scare the old lady? Lol!

Yess he's got hops! I love lily pads (and frogs of course)

Thanks @jeffjagoe!
This frog almost jumped right in the canoe with me.
When they get this size, they almost always have claws at the end of their webbed feet. They’ll climb right up your leg if you’re in their way. Hahaha!
