Romance in my garden

Hi. I`m new here.
I have some frog PICS I would like to share with you.
I did post them somewhere else,
but it must have been in the wrong place.

Amphibian love. Don't they look cozy, and won't you have some frogsong to hear this summer!

Those Pics were taken about 6 weeks ago.
This PIc. was taken2 days ago.
This is one of the first ones to develop hind legs.
You can see front legs just under skin behind Eyes.

Hello and welcome to you ginger749.

What kind of frogs do you have there? Are they on your property so you can better watch them develop?

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Hi Equilibrium.
Red eyed green tree frogs.
Yes they do live on my property.
I have a large Gold Fish Pond,
they live all around this water feature.
I also keep some tadpoles in fish tanks so I can take PICS of them.

Very nice, very nice indeed. Beautiful pond and waterfall.

Sorry my Pics are so large,
I hate reducing them because they loose to much detail.

Your photos are perfect. There's nothing wrong what so ever with the size of them. I like the detail anyway.

I`m on dialup, very slow for me to up load.
I`m glad they are OK.

Welcome Ginger!

I love the waterfall and I love those tree frogs! Ahhh......I get to dream of what I can only hope to get and live on our property..........(it's what happens when you have a postage size lot, right smack dab in the middle of town)

Well, being as how you are on a dial up connection... that makes me appreciate your photos all the more. Thanks for taking the time to sit there while the images were loading and loading and loading and loading. I'm a visual person and really appreciate it when people take the time to share photos.

I really enjoy sharing.
And with such nice folk, so far away.
Makes me feel like we are bridging the gap.

Oh good, hop on a plane and come on over with your photos and pond expertise! We'll all find a place to put you up and show you around! Then we'll stop on over by terryr and ger her going on a water feature so she can have some froggie visitors to photograph herself!

You're going to make my dream come true ey? How I would love to figure out how and where to put such a thing. When you're done here, we can hop on that plane going back with Ginger and she can show us around there.

Tis the season indeed. And a Merry Christmas to you over there. Is that 32C or 32F? Unfortunately, my guess is you are telling us it is in the upper 80's F out your way! Lucky you. We won't be seeing those temps for at least another 6-7 months or so.

Your`e right Equilibrium
32 C .
2 Dips in the pool already.
But then I have Mowed 3 Acres of grass.
1 more acre this arvo. It is 1pm and hot.
Time to rest, feet up and a cold Beer. Ummmmmmmmm.
As homer would say.

Quoting:
2 Dips in the pool already.
Did ya have to rub it in ;)

What's an arvo? Please excuse my ignorance.

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Arvo is the Afternoon.
After lunch [noon] till sun set.
3 Dips now .Waters really nice.
Come on over and join us if you wish.

Hey! A very Merry Xmas to all you guys.

Ah, what a wonderful word for afternoon.

Gently snowing right now. Perhaps a white Christmas after all but it's very cold outside and my guess would be somewhere around -5C?

Quoting:
3 Dips now .Waters really nice.
Believe me, if I could afford to get my rear on a plane I'd be doing a cannonball with all my flesh straight into your waters. Now, here's one back at you- no grass to mow here right now. Ha! I'll be thinking of you sweating your buns off mowing 3 acres of lawn while I sit here in front of my nice warm fireplace typing away.

Touché
You win .
Know why?
I`m Danish by birth .Love the cold.
I`m just jealous of all this talk of SNOW.

Hmmm, hop on a plane and come by me? We've got some decent ski slopes in the area. They're not powder but they're still fun. We also have a nice hill in the Village where many parents take their kids to go sledding and I've been known to go down the hill a few times. And, we run the fireplace non stop on weekends at this time of year because there's something about a fire that makes this place a little homey.

It rained a lot last night .
So it was no surprise that
there were more Frog Eggs this morning.
I`ll be down soon to take some Pics.

The tad-poles are now a few weeks old.
