    It's just a Great Year here for Life. The place is hopping. Hubby took this pic of a grey treefrog one night on the patio. Yes, he sometimes is green. I mean the frog of course. :oops:

    A beautiful green treefrog on the patio also in my koi pond.

    Leopard frogs are one of our most terrestial frogs and so are often found a long way fron water.

    There is often a lot of color variation in them also.

    These toads are making us some tadpoles!

    Frogs and toads have such character, no wonder they are liked so much. I have met people who are deathly afraid of them however.

    Fantasic photos Bethie.

    What a wide variety of frog colours Bethie. Ours do come in various shades of browns and greens too but aren't as nicely patterned as your Leopard frogs

    I snitched the first froggie, he will be a sketch soon, so cute! Wish I could sneak onto a neighbors property, they built a pond like, 40 years ago and stocked it with nonnative bullfrogs- they've never left the pond & I'd love to get a shot of one. We only have the tiny stickytoe variety here.

    Great pictures Bethie. I've only seen a few tree frogs around here this year. No toads or frogs - I wonder what happened to them all. Usually after a good rain they are hopping all over the yard and road.

    Great pics! All we have are the toads and they are everywhere. Once in a while we have a frog but just not enough water where we live I guess.

    What great pictures and handsome looking wildlife.
    We used to have a toad out back but haven't seen it in a few years.

    Great looking pictures. Our native frogs here in Australia are in danger of becoming extinct since the introduction of the Cane Toad.
