Frog Pond Reflections

Last edited Tue Jun 20, 2023, 05:21 PM - Edit history (1)

AndyS posted two splendid North Texas frog photos yesterday. I thought Pennsylvania should be represented and looked for a profile shot of a bullfrog I took a few years ago. I couldn't find the frog but did find some shots of a pond I took in 2016. While they might not leap into view, there are some genuine Pennsylvania frogs in the photo.

The photo was posted upside down! I rotated the image during editing which I sometimes do when cropping. I use a similar technique when proofreading my writing. I read from the end to the beginning. Helps pick up errors easily overlooked. The image is rightside up now.

Thanks and you're welcome, Peggy!

🔎 Looking... 🔍

I see some things that might be frogs... or maybe not... Might it be be possible to give us some clues?

Lovely photo, regardless! Reminds me of Monet's water lily paintings.

one sudden step into deeper swamp, and your boot was full of stinky water. Thanks for the photo.

I see some ripples that maybe are made by frogs? Well anyway I think the jewel tone colors are very striking. Nice capture!
