In 2003 I moved into a house with a pond in the back yard. Little did I know that it was bursting with frogs! I love critters of every kind, and I just happened to have a camera that could do great closeup shots AND see in the dark – so that was the beginning of Frog Shots. Now that I’m into my sixth season of frog-shooting, my photo collection is spilling over from one hard-drive to another... it’s high time to go public and share the bounty!
This website is just a framework to get started. There's MUCH more coming... stay tuned!
Watch the bullfrog eye above for updates ...
ALMOST every day!
Speaking of going global ...(nothing to do with frogs)
Have you heard about this ?
There are now a billion hungry people on the planet, and a billion online users every day (like you and me right now). If each of those billion online users gave a LITTLE bit, it would make a BIG difference. It's an attempt to harness the viral power of the Internet to do some good work, so I'm passing it on. Click on the "billion" logo to check out this interesting project.

LAST FROG and LAST TURTLE of 2009
The season is over – and the winners are...
This is the first year I have looked carefully for
critters as it gets colder ... surprised to discover how
late they go!

Post-Season
Pond Watch
The end of the frog season ...
November is done and the pond is asleep for the winter. The frogs are all tucked in, either at the bottom of the pond (bullfrogs and green frogs) or under the leaf litter in the woods across the street (wood frogs, spring peepers, and gray treefrogs). Turtles go deep into the pond-bottom mud – up to three feet down!
No more Frog of the Day column – the last frog was November 16 - but watch for new stuff on the other pages of this site (six years of photos to catch up on!)
... but don't despair!
During the off-season, take a hop through the 2009 Frog of the Day archives (the little calendars below). The green trimmings in the summer shots are a surprising and delicious antidote to the bare brown and white of winter.
I'll keep the POND CAM going (top of this page) to keep an eye on things while we wait for the spring awakening.

(The archives start in July 2009, when the "Frog of the Day" column was launched.)
