We took advantage of the super-springy weather we had today and went for a walk around a little local lake this afternoon. The trees are still pretty bare here, although their buds make the oaks look red from a distance, and we could see a lot of birds-- geese and crows, ducks and gulls and woodpeckers, cardinals, titmice, and robins.
The most action, however, was in the shallows of the lake. Thousands of frogs were, how shall I phrase this? Ensuring the survival of their species, right there in front of us and everyone. The water teemed, and oh the raucous racket they raised! It was louder than the chorus of a kazillion crickets.
It must be good to be a frog today.

Oh my, sounds like those frogs aren't ashamed to have a little fun. You've done a nice job of showing that spring has officially arrived. Yay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight and sound that was! What happens in the pond, stays in the pond. Nice to hear spring is happening in your world.
